Baby Dedication

Our church practices baby dedication instead of infant baptism. You'll find that Mary and Joseph did a similar thing for Jesus in Luke 2:22. Yesterday, was this day at East 91st. Ken and I had the extreme joy of going up in front of our church, the same church that both of us had been baptized in and where we'd gotten married, to commit to raise our first born in a Christian home. We've been really looking forward to this event.

We also got to stand up front with some of our dear friends, the Browns and the Hiscocks. April Brown, Margaret Hiscock and I were all pregnant with Sophia, Emmet, and Josh at the same time. My sister-in-law Megan was the first of the 2010 pregnancy crew. Jenn Chester is expecting our gang's #5 of the 2010-2011 baby boom.

This was the first time that we had all 4 of the babies in the same place. We just had to get pictures of that. Too bad Josh was only interested in taking off his sock!

We were extremely blessed to have 26 of our friends and family back for lunch after the service. Pictures of the party can be found here.
