Blessed, Blessed, Blessed

We had a lot to celebrate this weekend... Our 7th Anniversary, Ellie's Baby (Toddler) Dedication at Church, and my Baptism! We LOVED having both families in town to celebrate with us. Ellie has been asking since they left this evening "Where MeMe/MiMi/Pap/Pop/CuCe (Lucy) go"?

We joined our wonderful church a few weeks ago and since I was not coming in from another Baptist church, I had to be baptized in order to be a member. I was thankful to be baptized with 5 other members all from our Sunday School class. We also decided to go ahead and have Ellie dedicated the same day! She was less than excited to be up in front of the church, but we all survived! I don't know that they will ever get all the raisins off floor in front of the church!

Jay and I celebrated 7 years over the weekend... You know you are old when you excited your gift is a garage door opener (and a trip to the Braves game)!

Say Cheese!


Ellie found a new "toy" - brass candlesticks from the Chapel Parlor

And then things went downhill... fast...




I wish I had a picture of when we are walking around the church at the end of the Dedication, and she is crying while waving to the congregation... Priceless!

So, so thankful both sides were with us this weekend
