margo: baby dedication

Yesterday was Margo's baby dedication at church. We publicly dedicated ourselves, as parents, to raise Margo in a home that follows Christ and our family and friends publicly agreed to hold us accountable and to come along side us in raising her. It takes a village and we have the best village possible.

My Mom, Dad, Aunt Linda, Becky, Jared, Ethan, Nora and Atley were able to represent my side of the family. Alex's parents, grandparents and each of his siblings and their families were also able to join us and our community group was able to be there too! I am so thankful that everyone saw the importance of this event and could join us.

After the service we had a delicious lunch and chatted while the kids played. My heart was so full getting to see all of our favorite people in one room. It's not often that both sides of our family and friends are all in the same room, I think the last time was at our wedding! All in all, it was a great afternoon and we feel so blessed, thankful and loved.

Margo and Jack were the only babes being dedicated this week

All of my nieces and nephews that were present 

(my other six nieces and nephews live on the west coast)

but it quickly turned into a loud mess of yelling CHEESE!

let's zoom in on that poor babe 😂

(she was soooo tired)

Atley was disappointed that Margo wouldn't say CHEESE! 

"Margo say cheeeeeeese! Margo say it!"
