Harrison's Dedication Ceremony

Harrison Pruitt Smith's Dedication Ceremony
(the link to the invitation)

I didn't want this to be such a short post, but I am trying to get this out because it's been two months now since Harrison's dedication ceremony, and it's about time I uploaded the pictures!  He is upstairs napping, and Josh is on the ship for two weeks of training, so, in order to finally get this one out, it will have to be a short one (sorry).

We had Harrison's Dedication Ceremony on Sunday, July 3rd.  We had it at our church, Cornerstone Community Church, and Pastor Jeff Rosen led us in dedicating Harrison into God's family and in making our commitment to raise Harrison according to God's word.  Our friends Nathen and Nadia attended, along with our friends Jesse and Kathy and Jesse's mom, Maggie. 

After the ceremony, we all enjoyed a delicious lunch of Southern style BBQ at Lucille's in Temecula.  It was a wonderful day shared with wonderful friends, and we continue to feel so blessed to have this little guy in our lives!  Enjoy the pictures!

Pastor Jeff speaking to us about Hannah being a childless woman and her prayers to God to be blessed with a son (this touched me deeply).




We were listening closely, but Harrison was plum tuckered out, so he decided to take a nap :)

PS - Nathen and Nadia welcomed their son, Nolen Hesham Baker, on August 14th.  He's a beautiful, healthy baby and we couldn't be happier for them!

Love and Blessings to all!
