Baby Dedication

Today as an added celebration for Mother's Day, we dedicated Jillian at church. This was a really special time for our family when we dedicated Meredith and we were so excited to make the same commitment to raise Jillian in a Christian home that we made when Meredith was a baby. Jillian was an angel, sleeping the whole time (even during the whole sermon - she stayed with us since she is too young to go to the nursery). Meredith was great too - we weren't sure if she would make it through everything, but she was so excited for all the singing and loved seeing her Aunt Katie take our pictures. Luckily, she saw her toward the end because then she told us "I need Aunt Katie!" as we left the sanctuary. Luckily Pinky was an ok substitute until she got to see Aunt Katie later.

Our happy family - definitely a gift from God!
Our pastor, Dr. Wiles, congratulating us on Jillian. I think this is probably a shot of him saying "Look, they make them with hair now!"

Aunt Katie and Uncle Neil and of course, Landon - who was fascinated with Jillian's hair!

What a sweet picture of Papa with Jillian

And just for fun...here is a picture of Meredith at her dedication. She was a month older, but wore the same dress and was just as pretty as her little sister!
