Sudden Changes, Dedication and Fast Friends...

Here are a few of the images from our morning at Grand Oaks Garden in downtown on Thursday. My sweet neighbor joined us and I was able to capture a lot of sweet images of my "Heirloom Angels." I will try add more images through out the week!



This week has brought major changes for Baby Adelynn. She is not the same baby as last weekend! Since Monday, she has learned to wave "bye-bye," her first tooth broke through the gum, she has started clapping her hands, she pulls up on everything and she can crawl at warp speed! However, her "cuteness" has not changed a bit and she can still flash that sweet smile and steal my heart away all over again!

The dedication went very well last weekend. We had lunch at our house afterwards for our parents and it was really sweet. Adelynn, was a little ham during the actual dedication but what did I expect. She kicked her little legs under her lace gown and grinned a huge grin...everyone laughed. Then, as you can see in the photo, she tried to steal the pastor's bible...everyone laughed. Even though she was clueless and just enjoying the moment, Jon and I were pleased to send up a formal prayer on her behalf and promise to teach her to the best of our ability about her Heavenly Father. Our sweet church family agreed to help us through this process, which means a ton to us as a family!

Dear baby so precious

you're a jewel from above,

We thank God for your coming

and pledge you our love.

We'll train you and teach you

of God's loving ways,

So you'll live for Jesus

all of your days.

"Let the little children come to me." Luke 18:16

Fast Friends...

(I couldn't help snapping this sweet photo of the girls as they slept one night last week. When I went up to say a few scripture over them and pray, I found Anna Grace sleeping safe in the arms of her little sister.)

We have been amazed at the changes summer has brought on these two precious girls too. On the last day of school, we pulled out the trundle under Anna Grace's bed and let the girls have a movie night and sleep together. Well, they loved it so much, we just left the trundle out and they have been sleeping together ever since. Their friendship has grown by leaps and bounds just since the end of May. The few weeks they have spent together just hanging out in the backyard and playing non-stop together has created a tighter bond than I could have imagined. They have always adore one another but these few weeks I have been an eye-witness to the true bond of sisterhood!
