Dedication Day

Tonight was Ben's dedication day at church. We were glad to finally have a date that worked out to do that. The baby dedication day (or meeting we needed to attend) always seemed to fall on a weekend that we were going to be out of town. We didn't have any family there to take a picture, so we took a quick picture (with Curt holding the camera) before church.

Ben is such a blessing in our lives and it was wonderful to publicly dedicate him to the Lord. I pray that God will give me the wisdom to be the best mother that I can be for Ben and lead him on a path towards Jesus.

The family photo
Ben opened up a present from his grandma and papa (Walker) after we got home from church. They gave it to us last week when we were up in Cadillac, for us to open on Ben's dedication day.

It was a Bible for toddlers. Ben loved it and we had to read several stories in it before he went to bed!

What a special day that was. I sure wish we could have been there to enjoy it with you, but you were certainly in our thoughts. May God continue to bless your home and your lives, and you continue to raise your child as God directs. You are a blessing to us!
Love you,
Mom and Grandma

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
