Brynn's Baby Dedication

This past Sunday morning we had Brynn's baby dedication at church.  The dedication part was toward the beginning of the service, but we sang a couple of songs before it and Pastor Mark shared some announcements.  Brynn was cracking me up.  She has recently learned how to clap and she sat there in Ryan's lap and clapped pretty much the entire time we were singing and waiting for the dedication part.  Some of our friends in choir were cracking up! 

We had our camera and video camera ready (we had given them to our parents to use...you could tell we were the first time parents of the group.)  Ryan and I were laughing because his dad was already videoing before the dedication part even started! We were singing the VERY first song of the church service and there was Rick, videoing away.  When Ryan asked him about it later he said that he had to get Brynn clapping to the songs! =)

Walking up on the stage...

There were 2 other babies in our 10:30 service...watching them walk up on stage.

We have a great preschool director, Christy Brey.  She introduced us and talked for a couple of minutes.  Also dedicated in our service were Scarlett (to our friends Emily and Drew...poor Drew got "Scarlett spit-up" all over his shoes during the ceremony!) and Liam (to our friends Kurt and Ashley). 

Brynn was trying to clap the whole time.  =)

Listening to Pastor Mark talk about what our baby dedication means.

Brynn forgot to bow her head for the prayer.  HA!

It was hard to believe that WE were the ones actually standing up their with OUR child!  It was almost surreal.  We love Brynn so much and thank God every day that He blessed us with her.  We want to raise her in a Godly christian home and teach her to love Him.  We pray that He would help us do the best job we can, and we are so blessed to have a wonderful church family to help us along the way!
