dedication...


Today is Reagan's dedication at church. A very special event and a day filled with wonderful things. We arrived at Kass and Nate's church to find many old/life long friends....
One being "uncle" Don Williams. I have known this wonderful man my whole life and it was such a joy to see him and show off our precious new grandbaby. "Uncle" Don, and his dear wife Betty, told us that they are going to be great-great grandparents in September...such a wonderful Christian man with a beautiful family of his own.....
Kass, Nate and Reagan and two  other young families made their way up in front of the church. A dedication is the promise of the parents that they will raise their children to know the Lord. And once a child/adult makes the decision for themselves, they will then be baptized. So, for us, this is a very special event/day/commitment......
The Pastor offering his words of encouragement and blessings to all the families....
And the joy of this beautiful little boy and the newest member  of our family......
After church, we all went back to Kass and Nate's for a cookout and the chance to be together.... one of our families favorite things to do!!!!!! Eat and be together!!!!! Their little house was filled with friends!!!!
This is Ed, another long time friend of the family.. he has know Kass and Sadie since they were little kids... and now, he loves to see Abbie and Reagan as well..... (and one guy who doesn't get nervous holding babies!!!!)
Mary and Ed take a little time to chat with Kass.... ( and these are the folks who Kass and Nate got Banjo from.....)
Course, me and the camera... have to get all these great shots when I can... and here are all our "kiddos" together!!!!!
 




Our family takes up a lot of space these days!!!! Ever growing, and bigger still because come July... Sadie and Jesse will be married!!!!!! (lots of plans in the works for that)...












Looks like little Reagan has had about enough fun for one day......he's growing too fast.....
