Colin's Dedication

On Sunday, June 8, 2014, we had Colin dedicated at our church.

An awesome co-worker designed this for me!

It was really important to me that our pastor and Uncle David both be involved in his dedication.  Uncle David is my grandma's brother and he is the one who married us (and most of our family).

This is one of the only pictures that you can see almost all of us.  From the left - Justin's mom, my grandma, my mom and dad.

After the dedication, Uncle David preached. 

 After service, we tried to get a few pictures but Colin wasn't really into it!  This is us with Dave & Sharon.

Cousins!  Sharon & Garrett - Garrett is Uncle David's son and Sharon's mom was my grandma & Uncle David's sister.

I made the two chalkboard pictures for his party and got the cake at Wal-Mart. I had wanted to make one but knew I wouldn't have time.  We also had hamburgers and hot dogs after church for the family.

Mom also had a family reunion the same weekend that we didn't go to.  We did get to see her cousin Brenda and Brenda's son Timmy.  We had dinner with them Friday night and then they were there Sunday for his dedication.

These are some of my favorite pictures of the day.  The last time these two families had pictures taken together was Easter and baby Leora wasn't even born yet!  It was very special to have these pictures taken with both babies!  I don't know what we would do with Phil & Heather.  They are a constant support for us and love Colin like he is their own.  Heather & I grew up together and I'm so thankful God has us raising our babies together too!

This was the sweetest moment...they took each other's hands all on their own!

Another special lady...Jessica...her husband works with Justin and I worked with her.  Darren had the bright idea to set us up on a blind date!
