Maren's Dedication

On March 1st we stood before the church congregation and made the commitment as parents to help nurture and guide Maren toward Christ. We were thankful that so many of our family members were able to witness the dedication and celebrate with us that day.


Aaron's dad was kind enough to pull rank and give us our own ceremony vs. the mass dedications that are held each quarter. It pays to have grandpa as senior pastor! Aaron's mom then reserved the chapel on the church's campus to host a luncheon. Our parents were so gracious in hosting our family to a delicious meal. The day was so special for us, and we were grateful to those of you who could come.




Unfortunately, both girls were at the peak of their respective illnesses - Kayla looking like someone had punched her in the face and Maren with a cough that sounded like she was an old man. They both are doing much better now, which we are so thankful for. We appreciate everyone's prayers, as they are definitely paying off.

Here are several more pictures from that day. Maren looked so sweet with her little (OK, who am I kidding - extremely chubby) legs crossed.



All of the cousins!






Yes, of course Maren is already doing the stand-up trick! And quite well, I might add.
