Baby Dedication

On April 18th Ryan and Evan were dedicated to the Lord. My favorite part of this ceremony was listening to our Pastor say that these children may have come through us, but not from us. These are God's children, and He has certainly kept them with His righteous right hand. It was a wonderful occasion and we were blessed to have the babies' godparents come into town to be there with us.

The Peas were darling in their dedication outfits. Ryan kept his hat on all day long! Of course, this may have been because it was little snug on his head. Ha! Evan kept snatching his off, of course.

A Parker family photo---finally!

Love this picture!

Here is a picture of the boys' godmother, Erika. Erika and I have been friends for over 15 years. We met our very first day of class freshman year at Tuskegee, and the rest is history. I hadn't seen her since our wedding almost three years ago, and it was wonderful to be able to hang out, even for a little while. Before the Peas I used to be a shopaholic...now not so much! Erika, though was determined to get me back in the swing of things and she helped me get nearly our entire house decorated! We shopped, and shopped, and laughed, and shopped some more! I told E she should audition for an HGTV show, 'cause she whipped me and the house into shape:) Good times, good times I tell ya'! We get to do it again in June when she comes back for the boys' party.

Sean is the Peas' godfather and this is his fiancee' Keisha. Love her! We had such a blast with them. Sean was in our wedding, and he will be tying the knot in July. July is a fabulous month to get married, if you ask me! We were so glad that Sean and Keisha were able to come up for the dedication.

I don't have any pictures from the dedication itself yet. Some of our church members took pictures, so hopefully I'll get to see those. It was truly a beautiful day that we'll always remember.
