Hope's dedication on Mother's Day

It was my first official Mother's day and we had Hope dedicated at Berean Baptist Church. It was my home church and where we were married, so it was really special to have her dedicated there.
In case you are wondering what it is, dedication is different from an infant baptism because of the baptist belief in the age of understanding, which is why she will be baptized when she is fully understands the commitment she is making to her life with the Lord.

We had about 25 people at the dedication, which was so special for us. We were the only family to have her dedicated at the first service so we brought her on stage and I had to read a verse and explain why that was important to us and her dedication. Mac was really happy that I was willing to do the talking! Hope did great on stage and really liked the fact that she wore her dad's baptism dress. Yes, Mac wore the same dress and bonnet that Hope did when he was baptized. So weird to think that 6'7 Mac ever fit in that dress, not to mention the fact that he actually was put in a dress!

After the service we all went to brunch at Roaster Pear in Burnsville. The food was awesome and it was so fun to hang out with family and celebrate Mother's day. It was my first time as a mom and it was a memorable experience. Hope maybe had a little too much fun being the center of attention and didnt nap all day, so he had a pretty rough night. Luckily she is back to her normal self now. We have so much fun with her and feel so blessed to have this little angel in our lives!
