7 months old and Dedication!!

Our girls turned 7 months yesterday and
we had a dedication at church this morning
for them!  They were dressed in their fancies!

It was exhausting standing up on that stage.
They passed out right after the service!

Look at my pretty dress everyone!

These little ladies are our pride and joy

Hard to imagine life without them.

Here is the prayer we wrote for our little girls:

God,
We lift up our two beautiful girls to You and recognize
that You are the only reason we are so blessed to have them.
Protect and guide them as they journey through life, and open
their hearts to You.  Let them realize the value in living in truth.
Our desire is that Evelyn and Annabelle be women of character,
that they treat others with kindness and respect and most
importantly, that they love You.  Help us to guide them in these
things, that we might be an example to our daughters.  Give
us wisdom and patience to show this same character that we
desire for them.  We recognize that we can't do this without You.
We take this opportunity to acknowledge Your presence in their
lives.  We ask these things in Jesus' name.
