Family Day

Today was devoted to family!  This morning was Cole's dedication.  In our church we dedicate babies.  It is the same principal as baptism.  The parents are presenting the child to the Lord and promising to bring them up in knowledge of the Lord. The pastor's message to them was based on Proverbs 22:6  "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." 

After church DS & DIL-1 hosted a brunch for family and close friends.  We have a great group of friends that meet for brunch  most Sundays after church  at a local grocery store deli.  Most of them were able to join us today.  This picture shows Cole's 5 great grandparents. One more great grandmother is in a nursing home.  My mom is on the far right.

 

 This is DIL-1's immediate family. Her parents, DB & SIL, her grandparents, an uncle, aunt and 4 cousins drove from the Albert Lea, MN area. Her sister was unable to be here.  She has accepted a teaching position and is the volleyball coach in Laurens, IA.  

 

Our family!  We are so blessed and thankful!

Have a great week.
