BABY DEDICATION!





On Saturday we had the privilege of dedicating our precious Lee to the Lord. It was a wonderful time and we knew no better joy than to announce publicly that we are raising him in the best way we know how.

Another amazing part of the night was that we also got to dedicate Lee with two other families here that we are close to, the Starks and the Malones. Congratulations to Kye, Noah and Lee!

Afterward we went out to eat as one big family....isn't that what Christian brothers and sisters are? Anyway, all three families had members of their family enjoy a meal at a nice pasta restaurant on the hill. Afterwards we had a big yummy cake for the boy's dedication that everyone enjoyed. (Lee especially! :) I wanted to share a piece with Lee (it was his cake after all) and ended up eating more of it that I did!) It was a great time with really great friends.



****Speaking of, friends and family if you were there and got some good pictures, would you send them my way? The photographer for us was sick and didn't get clear shots of the ceremony. THANKS!

CONGRATS Mr and Mrs Schaub!



We had such a great time this weekend at Nick and Christina's wedding. It was a very special (and emotional!) wedding. It was so great to see so many family members and friends come together for this special occasion.

Here are some highlights:

  • DAYCARE offered for the kiddos in the bridal party (genus!)
  • picking up the cheese and learning they don't accept cards, but they let us have it anyway (they said, "just pay us later!" Bad business method, but it we were grateful!)
  • getting permission to take pictures in the library...even the old part that is shut off only for special occasions!
  • posing with interesting title choices...i.e. Danielle Steele's "Toxic Bachelors"
  • Jesse running off to buy decorations and Red Bull for the getaway car...including 2 "Hannah Montana" dolls
  • Being informed to be the MC while driving to Indiana. I did as well as an unprepared unprofessional could do at last minute! :)
  • Dave's (father of the bride) special surpirse song for Christina that made EVERYONE cry
  • Bridesmaids, "lean forward....turn your head slightly...." :)
  • Jesse dumping the whole bowl of birdseed on the happy couple (see above)

and something else I can't mention yet because it's still a surprise!

CONGRATULATIONS NICK and CHRISTINA SCHAUB!!!! <3
