Naomi's Baby Dedication

A couple of weeks ago, we had Naomi's baby dedication at church.  For those unfamiliar with baby dedications, it is similar to infant baptism (at least in the Methodist church) except without the water sprinkling.  It is a time when family, friends, and church gather to bless/pray over the baby and commit to surround the baby with Christian love. 

It was very meaningful for us and Naomi was a trooper through the whole thing.  She played with my hair and necklace, which was cute, and was a very sweet girl while Bill held her to pray.  Afterward, we went out to brunch with our family.  All in all a good time. 

We didn't get too many pictures of the dedication, since we didn't have our camera and were standing up front with baby.  But here are a couple that Brian's mom, Emily, took. 

P.S.  Thank you Jacque Swanner for my cute dress.  Love, Naomi!
