Noah's Dedication
(and one-month birthday)
(Click on images for larger picture)
 July 18th was Noah's baby dedication at church. The girls had
all gone out and picked the perfect outfit! The only thing wrong with it is the lion's
mane kept tickling his chin--Noah just thought, "Power to the Babies." |
 The whole family got to go up on stage while Pastor Doug
talked about the responsibilities of parenthood. Noah only cried when the pastor held him. |
| The whole congregation read this together to
affirm the church's commitment to Noah and us as parents. We say to
you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that your life is not a mistake. |
 Both Grandfathers then prayed for us and Noah. It was a neat
event. |
 After the dedication, we posed for a "four
generations" photograph. From left to right, Lee and Linda Bourque, Dean Edwards,
Angie, Dan and Noah, Marsha Edwards, Bev Twist (Dean's mother) and Lauren Bourque. |
 All of this dedication stuff was exhausting for the boy. |
 That night, we had a get-together at Dean and Marsha's.
Marsha's cousin, Cindy, and her family were all there and got to meet Noah. |
 The next day
was the 19th of June, Noah's one-month birthday! In one month, he had gained about 1 1/2
pounds and an inch or so in length. This was also the Georgia Bourques' last day in
Colorado, so everyone was getting their last-minute holds. We titled this one "hello
there!" |
 Grandpa spent his last hour just holding little sleeping
Noah--it was really precious, and there were many tears when everyone had to leave. |
