dedication...

our good friend, j, is a chaplain.  and his wife (a good friend) was saying something about him doing a dedication for friends at the beach.  and i had a thought.  we had nora dedicated by david's grandpa when she was a baby.  but we never had james dedicated.  and we LOVE our church, but we also know that we won't be part of it forever.  so, we had j dedicate our boys with our parents and friends.  it was a fun and special afternoon...

they stay so much more still when they are babies!

so thankful for our families that raised us, and our kids....

i got to have these three girls spend the night a few weeks ago...  they were so sweet!

all five kids... they didn't stay that way all night...

the kids were playing outside and wanted to play with the hose.  i told them they could if they washed the car!
