Jen (friend & teacher) is in charge of the cake walk. Silas won a huge package of treats at her booth.

I Happen to Believe that my Children are the Most Beautiful, Wonderful Children Around...

Seriously, she looks like a doll (even if she screams like a bobcat).

Notice the toothbrush in the packaging...it's a very favorite toy reserved for special occasions, like when Mommy wants to take a picture.

Have you ever seen more dashing stud-muffins? I dare say, no!

Daddy Giving Double Snuggles

Because of the babies' schedules, Barry doesn't get to see them for long in the evening before they are plopped into their cribs. Both of them love attention from their Daddy, though, especially Elise. She gives him flirtatious sideways glances and big smiles.

Emmitt is such a snuggler. I love to hold his substantial self and feel his head as he lays it on my shoulder.

Baby Dedication Sunday

Once again, here are our faithful leaders and friends, the Stones. They are off to new things and today we celebrated our church's 30th anniversary along with Pastor Danny's last day of preaching and a slew of baby dedications. Everyone was trying to jam in one last ceremony with the Stones before they jumped into their next great adventure.

The baby dedication:
