Gabriella's Dedication

Gabriella's dedication at church was this weekend, and my parents and Will's sister Kim were able to make it in for the occasion. The kids did really well up front, despite the fact that they were all getting cranky by that time. It was funny to hear the collective 'awwwww' when our pastor held her up. Then they prayed for her and after the 'Amen', everyone started laughing. I looked up to see Gabriella grabbing a handful of his nose. He announced that she had already found his beard during the prayer.





Will's parents had planned to come for it, but Joe & Gwen had their baby and needed some help with their boys. Congratulations Joe & Gwen!! We are so happy to hear that little Isabella is doing well!

In other news, Baby C chewed through two more pacifiers, so we reluctantly took them away and expected a couple of very long nights. It was a non-event, though, and he did fine from the beginning, which was a really nice surprise. He is walking everywhere now and is enjoying his newfound ability to chase his big brother around.

The other day, we let Graham get out of his highchair and he ran over to the couch. He stayed there for several minutes and we finally noticed that he was perched in the window, licking the window and watching the cars go by. Cheap entertainment.
