Baby Dedication

We had our Baby Dedication this past Sunday at church. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is what our church does for new babies instead of a "christening" which is done by Catholics. Our church waits to baptise our children when they are old enough to understand. But the Dedication is just a little ceremony that welcomes the baby into the church and the parents dedicate the baby back to God, promising to raise him as a Christian and everyone in the church prays over the baby. It isn't a big deal, yet it was very special to me because that is my biggest dream for my precious Dominick; for him to serve the Lord ALL THE DAYS OF HIS LIFE. Because I know if he's serving God,everything else in his life will fall into place. I didn't get a lot of pictures of most of the people that were there because the day was just busy and Dominick was way too busy playing to take pictures.


The blond holding Dominick is the pastor's wife and the man to her right is the pastor. The chick in the blue shirt is me and the tall dude is Jon. Everyone else to the left is our families.

It was a beautiful day so we all ate and hung out outside all day. This was the outfit Dominick wore. He got it nice and dirty playing outside all day.

Dominick loved all the attention from his cousins. He didn't take a nap and was so sleepy he laid his head on Christian's shoulder for a long time. It was so cute!!!

This is us. Dominick was having a hissy fit that we took him away from playing to take this picture.

Hi Lynn,
What a beautiful day. Seems like a perfect day to dedicate Dominick. He just keeps getting cuter and cuter. Also, thanks for passing down the toys to Amelia. I know she will love them. She is the perfect age for them.
