Baby Dedication at Church

Yes...we braved the flu, cold, and every other type of sickness out there, to attend the baby blessing/dedication to God ceremony at our church this past Sunday. The church was SO great and really worked with us to make sure the babies were as healthy as possible while out of the confines of our house! We were able to come in late and go straight into a baby "nursing" room (private room) and then we walked the babies down to the stage, dedicated their lives to God, had some prayers, and then walked straight out of the auditorium into the burb!

A Baby Dedication is the act of dedicating our children over to God. The quads belong to the Lord, and we are so incredibly blessed to be able to raise them in a good, Christian home with tons of people who love them. Everyone in attendance was called to keep us accountable and to be godly influences over the lives of these children. Such an awesome event!!!

I have a few pictures downloaded (I DIDN'T TAKE ONE PIC WITH MY CAMERA!!! ARGH! Can you imagine getting four infants ready for church? Including myself and loading the babies in the burb and making sure they don't spit up on themselves?!! It was actually fun--I cannot WAIT to get these kiddos out and about!)...My good friend will be sending me the rest/majority of the pics...but here is a sneak preview!

Afterward...Ben got some good luvin' with one of his most favorite people in the world...Liz!

It was nice making Joe load up all of the kiddos for once! (He's always working when I take the babies to their various doctors' appointments!)

At home...oh my gosh! Look how cute the boys are in their little sweater/vest combos! LOVE IT! Miss Priss had already given up on her shoes.

"Well, hellllloooooo ladies!" (Drew on the left, Ethan on the right)

Benny and Sav

Goofy dad...by this time, the kiddos are SOOOO done with taking pics

I wanted to see if I could get them ALL on my lap again!...I just LOVE the feeling of all of my babies in my arms at once--even if they are squirming and start screaming within seconds. So many times a day, I WISH so badly that I had more than two arms to love on these precious little wonders!!!

Dan and Dani with the kiddos...look how happy Savannah looks on Uncle Dan's lap! Too cute!


I'll post more pictures of this day when I get them! Tomorrow is another BIG day---bands come off for GOOD! WOO HOO! Joe is coming with me! (YAE) I'll definitely post pics and let you know how it goes!!
