Brayden's Dedication

Yesterday we had Brayden's Dedication at church. For those of you not familiar with a dedication-it is a chance for Todd and I to declare that we believe Brayden is a gift from God and a chance to vow to our church family, our family and friends that we will raise Brayden in a Christian home so that he can grow up to be a man of God. It was a special day for us.




Cousins-Taylor, Chloe, Rylee, Brayden, and Quinn.

Baby Chloe-She is not much bigger than a Anne Geddes Baby doll.

Sunset out our back window last night. After the bridge collapse my eyes were opened to the fact that we just don't know when our last day is so we need to take time to enjoy everyday and slow down long enough to notice a beautiful sunset.

Friday night was also a very special night. Rylee and me went out on our first date ( I am going to try to spend alone time with the girls once a month). We went to IHOP for dinner and shared some pancakes, we went to Old Navy so she could pick out a new dress and shoes, we went to Clarie's so she could pick out a new neckless for her dress and finally we went to Borders and sat down and read a bunch of books together. I asked her what her favorite part of the night was and she said picking out her neckless. She loves jewelry-typical girl. I am looking forward to a date night with Taylor next weekend.
