Caley and John's Wedding Weekend

7/4/2010

Last weekend we had the joy of attending Currey's sister's wedding. What made this wedding extra special is that Currey got to preform the ceremony. It was Currey's first wedding and he did an outstanding job. It was incredibly sweet! We were able to spend some great time with family.


Blythe was able to meet lots of people which she LOVED!

Currey's mom

And lots of grandparents!

The bride and groom heading to breakfast.

The wedding was beautiful and in an amazing glass chapel.

And the reception was perfect as well.

We'll just say that it was very hot but peanut got special treatment.

Our little family

Thankfully my mom flew up here and then drove down with us.

It ended up taking 13 hours each way so we were SO incredibly glad that she was there to entertain Blythe. She even stayed with Blythe Saturday night so that we could enjoy the reception. It was a great evening and we enjoyed being a part of Caley and John's big day.

Baby Dedication

5/24/2010

In April we were blessed to dedicate Blythe with our church family. At our church we do not practice infant baptism but we do have the opportunity to commit in front of our church family to raise our children in a home where God is central to all that we do. The parents, friends, family and the church body all agree to this commitment and it is a sweet time to pray over our children.

The pictures that we got aren't that great so here's the best one.


Each family also picks a verse for their children. The verse that we chose for Blythe is:

Habakkuk 3:17-18

Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

At first glance, I know this looks like a very strange verse to pick for your child's blessing but if you know my husband at all it makes perfect sense. One of Currey's biggest pet-peeves is when verses are pulled out of context and applied to something that the original context does not fit with. We joked about submitting our verse in Greek or Hebrew so that nothing was lost in translation! :) I love Currey's love of God's word and his desire to honor it's true message and meaning. This verse fit that criteria and seemed to be a perfect fit. Our prayer for our sweet daughter is that she will always cling to God and His word especially during the rough seasons that life will inevitably bring. We pray that she come to know the Lord and that she would trust Him fully with her life. We know that this is often easy to do in seasons of ease and joy but our prayer is that in times of trial He would also be the one that she turns to first. We feel blessed to be a part of a church body and family that is willing to surround us and hold us accountable to raise Blythe in a way that is honoring and pleasing to the Lord.

Easter and More Visitors

5/1/2010

I know...2 posts in one day!

Over Easter weekend Rick and Shelly came to meet Blythe and celebrate Easter with us. It was such a sweet trip and we loved getting to introduce Blythe to Rick and Shelly. They immediately feel in love and it was so fun to see them both with her.



Currey had to work on Saturday so Rick and Shelly watched Blythe so that I could run some errands. I also got to get pampered with a manicure and pedicure! Such a nice treat and I only called home once! On Sunday, they watched Blythe again so that Currey and I could go on a date. It was nice to get to spend time with just Currey but it was so weird to be away from Blythe. They spoiled us while they were here and we packed the weekend full of activities. It was great to have them visit.

Blythe also got a visit from the Easter Bunny! She loves her play mat. The Easter Bunny did good! And as I follow in my mom's footsteps, there were several practical presents like pacifiers.


Here she is in her Easter dress. Not the best picture as it was taken with my phone but she looked precious!


It was a great weekend of yummy food, great conversation and sweet time with family. We are LOVING all the visitors that Blythe has brought our way and we are excited about several more visits from family over the next month. We will be busy almost every weekend but it's the best kind of busy to be! Looking forward to introducing Blythe to our siblings and Blythe's first road trip for the all church retreat.
