Baby Dedication

Well, the day finally arrived for the triplets to make their debut at church. We've been waiting a long time for this day and it was nothing short of exciting. Of course, in order to make it happen, we needed our entourage on hand! We had several family members join us, as well as our special friends Heidi and Jeff and Jeff's daughter Danielle. Our good friend Tricia was also there to help out by taking pictures. I tell ya, going somewhere with triplets is always a group effort :-) Pastor Mark did a great job with the dedication and I imagine for him, it was a treat to see these tiny babies growing so big. He came to visit them in the hospital early on when they were still very tiny and very sick! This was definitely a special day, full of reminders of God's faithfulness and your continued prayer and support for our family. It always amazes me how truly blessed we are.

This picture shows about 1/2 our combined, extended family.

I thought this picture of Hailey was precious!
Aunt Tee Tee and Andrew
We tried to get a shot of the three, but as usual, one or more was not in the mood to cooperate!
After the service we all went to lunch at a local favorite restaurant, Mama Stortinis. We enjoyed spending time with family and eating delicious italian food. I learned three new things about my babies and food. Andrew likes Italian cheesecake, Hailey likes lasagna, and Molly loves Half and Half! Hey, at least they all eat something :-)

The greatest thing about this restaurant is that they cover the tables with white butcher paper so the kids can color away to their hearts' content!

Hailey is enjoying some yummy bread!
Molly enjoyed drinking from a big kid cup!
And here is the proof!
This day turned out to be perfect in many ways and we are especially thankful to all of the people who have been with us from the beginning! It will be such a joy to watch these babies grow and become strong, confident people of their own!
