Maxwell's Dedication

Today was a special day for us, as we dedicated Max to the Lord!

Mike King, the executive pastor at First Baptist Church Opelika, led our dedication.  It was a sweet time to publicly profess our desire to love and raise Maxwell in a God-centered home.

Hank and I chose a life verse for Max.  We pray with all of our hearts that Max (and Henry) will one day put their trust in Jesus and that their "roots will grown down into him"! 


"Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him, so you will grow in faith, strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught.  Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all he has done."

Colossians 2:7 (New Living Translation)


After church we had a "Dedication Celebration" at our home.




Max and his grandmothers, Ronnie and Bessie.

Sallie, Max and Libby


These two are only 9 months apart.  Hopefully one day, they will be best buds!


This is more like it.....



We love you, Maxwell, and we cannot wait to see the plan God has for your life.

Easter 2014

I am so happy and thankful that this year we were able to really start talking to Henry about who Jesus is and what He did for us on the cross.  The Jesus Storybook Bible and "Resurrection Eggs" were the perfect way for us to introduce Henry to the Holy Week story.  Of course, the real meaning is pretty deep for a 3 year old, but he is starting to get it.

On Saturday we participated in the Easter Egg hunt at Willow Point.  Henry's favorite part was decorating cookies before the egg hunt and pestering his cousin, Libby.  :)  Max was nothing but a cutie pie.

Our competitive son, wasn't putting any eggs in his basket at first.  He was only looking for the "golden egg" that would win a prize and throwing any others across the lawn.  When he realized the golden egg was spoken for, he kicked it into high gear.




On Resurrection Sunday, we enjoyed worshiping at our church in Opelika.  I'm so thankful for a pastor that delivers consistent Bible teaching every week.

After church, we enjoyed Easter lunch at my parents' house.





Coordinating cousins.






Let the egg hunt begin!


Aunt Jeanne helped H find a very well hidden egg!


I love those curls!
