Simon Got Decorated

Simon was dedicated to the Lord last Sunday, December 29. It was touching to be able to do this at Canyon Springs...this was the first church Christopher and I attended together after we were married. We've been members since 2000 (except for our years at NCC in DC). We've known this church as newlyweds; we worked in the nursery for years, wondering if we'd ever have kids of our own; we've been invited into the homes and lives of so many families here. It was wonderful to introduce and dedicate our little boy with these friends.

All went smoothly during the dedication. However, Millie was mildly panicked when the pastor was holding Simon, hyperventilating a bit and whispering 'momma...get Si' over and over again. Cuuute. And each night during "Daddy Snuggles" (you know, that sweet time after books and prayers when Dad and daughter snuggle together and talk before she falls asleep), Christopher asks Millie what she did that day. Millie calls this "do-today", as in "Millie, what did you do today?" After Simon's dedication Christopher and Millie were doing do-today, and she told him that Simon got decorated! I just love her.
