Kendall’s Dedication

On Sunday, January 20th, we had Kendall’s dedication at our church. It was such a special, special day and I was thrilled that the church took some pictures of the service.  It is very sweet how our pastor does the dedication.  He took Kendall and walked her down one aisle and up the other aisle of the church.  All the way he was talking to her and to the church about the preciousness of Kendall’s life and the responsibility we have to raise her up in the Lord. I can’t believe that we are so lucky to be this girl’s parents.  We know we are blessed and we know it is a huge responsibility.  We made a promise to teach her about Jesus and to raise her in the church. Here are the pictures of the service.774517_4792359599790_829508253_o 774628_4792361439836_396734393_o

I love the way Kendall is looking at pastor George and has her arms flying in the air. She did this the whole time.65225_4792360479812_350631070_n
We were beyond grateful to have our family stand up there with us for this special day. We greatly value the love and support of our wonderful families.774987_4792362119853_87684156_o

Lagging

It is no secret that my blogging has slowed since Kendall was born.  But it looks a little funny that I did blog part of Christmas.  There was more!  I just haven't had the time/energy/desire to get it updated.  It will happen...someday.  This week I am trying to do a few crafty things to decorate for lunch at our house on Sun.  We are having Kendall's dedication at church (lunch after) and my mom bought me a paper cutting machine for Christmas.  I feel like I should do something crafty.  I'm not good at crafty, but I want to be.  Needless to say, I am learning.  I don't know that I'll actually have anything presentable to use, but we'll see.  Work and kids really get in the way of crafty.  :)  I am not giving up the kids, so maybe the work?  Ha.  No.  I will just have to learn to plan ahead if I want to do crafty.  On a side note, I am also way behind on my tv watching.  What is going on in my world?  And now this concludes the most random blog post...ever.
