I had to jump online and share these pics of Baby Ella in her new duds, gifted by one of Vann’s very kind colleagues. Despite all the sickness, we’ve had a truly sweet weekend at home as a family. Ella is still pretty congested and it is SO hard hearing her struggle…so I’m hoping she’ll be on the road to recovery in the next few days.

I’m so excited because the family pastor at our church is squeezing Ella in for the baby dedication this coming weekend. They were full, but because we don’t know our plans for the future and really wanted her dedicated at Park, we were able to get her in under the gun. Dedication is pretty simple: we publicly acknowledge as parents that we’ll raise Ella in a Christ-centered home. It’s an awesome celebration and we couldn’t be happier she’ll be dedicated where her big sister was as well. Now, to figure out what she’ll wear… 😉
