Dedication Weekend

This past weekend of the boys' dedication was amazing!!  We had so much fun with our family in town, and the boys were spoiled like crazy!  Sadly, my brother was really sick, so we didn't get to spend much time with him to keep the boys healthy! =( 

Here are some fun pics from the weekend ...

(Thanks Joy for taking so many great ones!)

 And now for the big event ... our boys' dedication!

We attempted a family picture before we left for church

Waiting to go up on stage ... the boys were 2 out of 11 babies being dedicated this week!

We were on the end, kind of in the dark, but it was fine with us!

Our pastor John, praying for the boys.

(I have a great video coming of the dedication!)

After the service, we had a reception where everyone got to spend time with the boys.
Thanks SO much Mom and Dad for setting everything up!  It wouldn't have been the perfect
day without your help!!!

Daddy and sleepy Will ... they made it 1 1/2 hours after their bedtime, and didn't really cry!

Sweet family picture ...
Notice the jammies!
 (The boys went through 3 outfits during the 3 hours we were at church!)

I can't really begin to describe how special dedicating our boys to the Lord was to me.  I really began dreaming of this day very soon after we lost Jonathan. I told Justin that I couldn't wait to be able to give our next child to the Lord in our church, and I never dreamed that it would be twins!  God has blessed us with these precious miracles, and there isn't a day or even moment that goes by that I don't think about how incredibly lucky I am to be their mommy! I pray that He will give us wisdom in raising them to be caring, honest, strong men of God!

It was so special having our family, our church family, and so many amazing friends, and even some from afar, supporting us.  We are so grateful for all the support and prayers! Thank you to our families for being here with us! We love you!
