Last Sunday, Emma made her debut at church. She rocked her first day at church which included her baby dedication, which was really us dedicating ourselves to raising her in a God honoring home and teaching her about Jesus. It is always a touching moment to me when the congregation also stands in commitment of helping us raise our children to know and love the Lord. We have felt and seen their commitment to our other children in action and words, and they no doubt will do the same for Em. We were worried that Emma might not handle the crowds, attention, and noise...but she handled it all without too much fuss. She stuck close to me in the baby carrier, which is a safe place for her to hunker down when she is nervous or scared. The wonderful ladies, my friends, gave a cake reception after the service in celebration of Emma and her home coming! It was a fun time of fellowship and excitement for our whole family..we felt so loved!!

During Emma's dedication...she hammed it up and actually smiled at everyone with her adorable smile! How could everyone NOT love her already! Praise God for spontaneous smiles!
