Our pastor introducing Meghan to her church family. He walked her up and down the isles, giving the congregation a chance to touch her precious toes and rub that head full of hair. It was so special.

What a joyous day this was! We are so thankful we could be there this weekend to share in Meghan's dedication! The service was so sincere and heartfelt and it warmed my heart to see your church family greet you with such love and affection after her dedication. And what a wonderful church family you have! In three visits we've always felt so welcome there and it always makes it easier to leave again knowing how well you're loved and cared for there in Huntsville. ;-)
Again, thanks so much for having us and we plan to (and with great joy!) love that baby girl just as we've loved, and continue to love, Moira and Ian!
Hugs to each!
