Baby Dedication Night

Awaiting the big moment.

Five minutes after this photo was taken, she decided it might be nice to have some warm milk to settle her nerves. As we were getting all settled into the Mother's Room, Pastor decided to start the dedications. So she got a taste-tester of her dinner, and then was whisked away to face a whole bunch of people, with a very grumpy look on her face. This girl don't like no one messing with her food time!!

And as a result, we have no pictures of the actual event. It was straight out of feeding and right up there in front of the church. No time to grab the camera and someone to snap some pictures (Tracy, where are you when I need you!?).

So you'll have to imagine us up there. Me all nervous and fervently praying that Beth won't start squawking, James trying to contain Rachel and Christian who decided that they wanted to be in the lime-light, and Bethie. Dear sweet Bethie. Busy filling her nappy. I was counting on those Huggies nappies to contain it all because I sure didn't want to end up with the tell-tale yellow streaks all over me in front of everyone. Sigh.

Good times. :-D

All shined up for the event. I even washed her face! Fancy Smanchy.

Talking about her big night with her big brother. :-)
