Dedicated

I guess the term "baby dedication" is a bit of a misnomer since the baby is the only one at the alter that's not dedicated to much of anything. Then again, I take that back. Over the past month, Naomi Janelle has demonstrated her dedication to begging for seconds, crying at the church nursery (separation anxiety has officially set in), relocating random items from one side of the house to the other (I call her the transporter) and being the first person to wake up every morning. But dedicated to being Christ-like? Clueless. Which I guess means that it's more about us (the parents, extended family and friends) dedicating ourselves to her and making a public commitment before the Lord to raise her according to God's Word and Will. With that said, she was "dedicated" last Sunday at Emmanuel Baptist in a service that Venesa and I both thought was pretty awesome.

The highlight for the kids? Nana, PopPop and Lela all in Hartsville for the weekend. And while they've gotten used to seeing Lela (for what seems like) every 72 hours (they LOVE their Lela!) it had been about a year since the last Nana & PopPop visit. But if you ask the kids, it was worth the wait. Great weekend. Fun visit. And one more dedicated Reyes baby.
