This past weekend Rory had her Baby Dedication at church. It was a special day and a special weekend. We started off the weekend by having a delicious lunch at BJ's where Rory could enjoy her favorite food. Then we all came back to our house and the Grandma's, Aunties, and Uncle Aaron watched Rory while Greg and I went to the parent class for the baby dedication. It was a great class...and we were taught how to pray for our sweet Rory using Scripture, we also took a communion together as a couple and read the story of Hannah. It was a nice class and actually felt like a date since we haven't been out together alone in a while. :) We came back to the house and enjoyed staying up late (10pm) hanging out with the fam!! On Sunday we all headed to church and enjoyed a wonderful service and Rory's Dedication to God. A few highlights....

1) it was at 11:15am right during Rory's nap time/lunch and she was very restless...trying to get down, not wanting to be held etc. I gave her my necklace which she began to swing around hitting me and the people near us.

2) she then pinched a little girl in front of us (the mother was unaware) the little girl turned around and all I kept saying in my head was "please don't cry" I began laughing and smiling at the little girl...trying to distract her from the pain of Rory's tiny nails. She bought it...thankfully!

All in all she did a great job, and even gave the crowd a BIG BIG grin when everyone began clapping...i could just here the voice in her head..."All this for me...oh stop oh stop...no no...clap some more."

After the service we all went to Kincaid's for a delicious lunch! Thank you to my Mom, Reagan, Auntie Linds, and Uncle Aaron for making to trip! And for everyone else who attended this special day for us...We love you all!

Here is the scripture we chose for Rory Grace:

Ephesians 3: 17-19

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."
