Cali's Dedication

Today was Cali's dedication at our church. It was a very special day as we stood before the church to declare our commitment to raise Cali in a Christian home and welcoming the church's help in showing her God's grace. We had our extended family present to witness the event and also state their commitment to do their part to raise Cali and draw her to Christ.


Pastor Eric did a great job with the dedication. It was really special to have him do the little ceremony because Eric is the pastor who married us almost 7 years ago.

Cali was adorable and well behaved during the whole thing! She even tried to take the microphone from Eric while he was talking.

After the service we came back to the house for lunch. It was the first time we had served a meal to both sides of our family.


The four cousins had a great time playing! The two five year olds got along really well and helped entertain the younger two.

It was a long day for Cali that included LOTS of playing. Poor thing was up from 7:30am to 3pm before she got a decent nap. Once everyone left she slept for 2 hours.

This evening we put her back in her dress for photos. She looked like a princess.

She was not too excited about the photo shoot though. This also proves that she is not happy all the time:)
