North Carolina Trip

We headed north to North Carolina this weekend for Cousin Corey's wedding. It was a good weekend, but very very hot. At least they don't have the humidity that we have down here or we would have fried. The wedding was quite beautiful and it was a great chance for Zoe to meet all of the extended family that she hasn't met yet. Our girl does not like being confined for all that way though so there was some whining and our normal distractions did not work, although "Itsy Bitsy Spider" has turned into an all time favorite to get us through the grumpy pieces of the day.

Our Witching Hour

Does this look like sleep? The time stamp says that it is 12:48 AM. We stayed up for 3 more hours. Happy day.

Our Dedication

We believe that a child should not be baptized until they understand what it is to accept Jesus into their lives. Additionally, there is no account in the bible of a baby being baptized. That being said, our church offers baby dedications, where we dedicate ourselves to raising our child to be an authentic, follower of Christ in public as well as at home. By dedicating ourselves to her publicly, we are also asking our church community to rally behind us in support of raising our child in this way. Thomas and I believe that it takes a village to raise a child and we appreciate all of the help we get.

Grandma and I took Zoe shopping this weekend to get her some outfits for her dedication, Corey's wedding and our upcoming trip. Zoe was in a great mood all day and Grandma and I wore ourselves out at the mall.
