Baby Dedication and Meeting Family

We recently got back from a short but full trip to North Carolina. Isabella got to meet Allison's family for the first time and also Ben's 95 year old Grandmother. We had a great time and she was passed around and loved on from everyone. I know she won't remember it all but she sure does have a lot of people that love her.





















































































Our other purpose for going to North Carolina was for Isabella's Baby Dedication at the church where Allison grew up. All of Allison's family and Ben's Mom and Grandmother and some close friends were able to celebrate the day with us. It truly meant a lot for us to be able to thank God for our little girl and to celebrate the occasion with those closest to us. After the dedication we all enjoyed each other's company over lunch and Isabella got passed around some more.







































































































Isabella's Aunt Amy has not only come out here to visit us 4 times since we moved in last August but she also graciously lets us stay with her, let Ben's family stay with her, took time off work to chauffeur everyone around (and let us use her new car), and coordinated Isabella's dedication and lunch afterwards. Her generosity is only one way she shows how much she loves Isabella and us and she always knows how to make Isabella giggle.
