On Sunday, we stood up in church to dedicate Anders to God, our denomination's version of baby baptism. Then we had family and a few friends over to celebrate. Unfortunately our church recently changed the way they do baby dedications and I was disappointed with the service--it was quick and in bulk. But the personal sentiment is the same, and we still think it was a day to celebrate.
(I'll try to post more reflection on the day later, but for now, here are some pics.)
One of my best childhood friends, Andrea, and her husband, Tom, are Ando's godparents. Here's my boys with hers after their slumber party and before getting dressed for church. 
My Grandma Julie and Grandpa Jerry made the trip down from GR to be with their fourth great-grand baby on his special day.
Here we are on stage saying a few words about what it means to us to dedicate our boy.
Praying for Ando and for us as his parents
Of course our little goddaughter Eva came too
and Zach's brother, Uncle Joshy

We love you, Anders Timothy!
So happy to be a part of Anders's big day - what a special guy :) I love the last pic with his tongue sticking out! And of course, had to get a shot with my striped socks..... :P Can't wait to see our boys grow up together - that picture of the three of them is a keeper!
