Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day was a really special day because it was Baby Dedication Day at church for Elena. She was born just a couple of weeks after the last one they had, so she was one of the oldest babies being dedicated. It was a really nice service (Elena didn't cry- that was all I could hope for at that point after the extremely late night she had getting back from TX Saturday!), and several people took pictures for us.

Thanks to the Millers for being part of our Indiana family and coming to our church that day! And to the Abbotts for being our guests at the reception (and to Jean for acting as human highchair to Elena and her boyfriend Isaac)! It means a lot to us that you guys did that! It is so special to see how God has provided family for us here- people who will stand with us in our committment to raise our children in a Biblical way and teach them about Christ.

All-in-all, Mother's Day was pretty good after church as well- the kids both slept from about 1pm until 5:30pm and then went right back to bed at 7:30pm. So we are slowly making up for the loss of sleep Saturday.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms in my life- grandmas, mom, sister, and friends (even those of you who are mothers to dogs!) :) I love you all!
