A special Sunday

On Sunday, March 18, we dedicated our sweet baby girl.

I had been looking forward to this for quite a while, because it was very special in so many ways.

First, Hollin wore a beautiful Feltman Brothers dress bought for her by my dad. I thought she looked like such an angel.


The night before, I worked really late on a bracelet for her. It is made of my late grandmother's pearls and a cross from a necklace that I had when I was little.


I borrowed the following poem to go along with her bracelet:

Psalm 52:8
"But I am like an olive tree
Flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God's unfailing love
for ever and ever."

A dedication gift for our sweet baby girl;
You'll wear this beautiful cross and pearls.

And years from now when you become a bride;
on something "old" you must decide.

Tuck this bracelet in your bouquet with love
from your parents on your special day.

We went to Sunday school where our friends held a nice brunch for us and another couple who was dedicating their little boy.




After brunch, we headed to the Sanctuary where the Director of Children, Jeannie Troutman, walked her down both aisles of the church.






She came back and did the same for our friend's baby, Charlie, and then had prayer. Hollin received a certificate, a precious white bible with her name engraved and a beautiful pink rose.


After the service, we had family over for lunch! It felt so great to share such a special day with our friends and family.

We are so thankful for our sweet babies :)
