Charlie's Dedication & Birthday Celebration

Mother's Day couldn't have been more special, as we dedicated Charlie at church this morning.  Our desire is that Charlie would come to know Jesus personally at a young age.  And as his parents, we are committed to teaching him, guiding him, and praying for him.  We hosted a brunch with family and close friends following the dedication service.  With Charlie's first birthday approaching in a few days, we even enjoyed some birthday cupcakes too!  We truly are so blessed with such wonderful family and friends (who are so much like family).

Family Vacation: Marco Island

We enjoyed a great week down in Marco Island, Florida spending time together and relaxing as a family.  Our dear friends, the Jensens, were there as well, which made it especially a fun time!  Our days down there consisted of swimming at the pool, swimming in the ocean, playing in the sand, and checking out what Marco Island had to offer for great restaurants.  It was all about relaxing and playing.  As always, Patrick made everything about the travel easy for me and the kids!

Look at our little traveler, pulling her own suitcase through the airport!

I love watching these two play together!
