The weekend of Halloween we decided to have Emery's dedication at Glenwood- more on that later... first though, we spent Halloween at Moore Farm's Pumpkin Patch with Gigi, Okay, Sarah, & Camryn. Sarah & Camryn came to town for the dedication on Sunday (Tyson was sick and couldn't make it, but we took lots of pictures for him!). They were pretty much out of pumpkins, but the girls don't even know it's Halloween so we figured it was still a good chance for a few great photo ops.
Babies in Bjorns, how cute!
Emery was really excited to be there, can't you tell! :)
The Girls (old & new)!
So, we did alright getting some pictures of the girls on their first Halloween- don't they look like they really enjoyed it! I know this Mommy loved, they have so many fun activities. A corn maze, and a hayride- but maybe next year.
Sunday was Emery's dedication at our church and it was wonderful! Glenwood does this as a way of introducing all the new babies to the church & blessing them. They also gave Emery a bible that is just adorable! We feel so blessed to have such a wonderful church family that will love Emery just as much as we do. This is congregational response that is read during the dedication:
We rejoice to take Emery under our care.
We seek God's grace to be a community in which
the gospel is truly proclaimed to all.
We will support you and minister with you
as workers together in Christ Jesus and
heirs of his promise.
Since my Dad (Okay) is an elder he was able to do the blessing which was really special for all of us. We (actually Gigi) was able to take some pictures... thanks Gigi!

After church we had lunch at my parents house, and Emery wiggled like she does best!
That was such a good weekend! Emery is truly a blessing.
