This past Sunday was Will's baby dedication.
All dressed up ready to go to church.
At the dedication our children's minister read the scripture and blessing we picked out for Will. It was special to be able to share our heart for Will with the whole church.
I love this picture! That smile on Will is so good. He does not smile for the camera much, I think he is giggling in this picture.
Hanging out with Mimi before the service started.
Andrew got to stay in the service to see Will get dedicated and to see some older kids get baptized. The camera caught him funny, trust me he was not asleep or tired, he never is :) It was such a special service to see young children getting baptized and to see young babies getting dedicated.
After church we went to Dickeys bbq to celebrate Will.
On Sundays kids eat free and they have free soft serve ice cream for everyone. The kids loved it and will probably be begging to go every Sunday :) Lily really enjoyed her first ice cream cone ( I normally get her a cup of ice cream).
Will trying to chew on the high chair and also trying to get out. FYI: they say high chairs are one of the dirtiest things at a restaurant besides the menus. I tell myself I am strengthening his immune system :)
Ben and Will hanging out. Their age gap seems so big right now, hard to believe in a year or less they will be great buddies.
Dr. Pepper in a cup you get to take home, dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets, waffle fries and a ice cream cone, Andrew had a grand time celebrating.
Uncle Kirks extra tall ice cream cone.

Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.
I bless you William to KNOW that God is with you and not against you. He loves you more than your parents could fathom and sees you as his reward. May the Lord open your eyes and ears to know the ways that He cares for you and give you the manliest of hearts to respond to his great love for you.
That is the blessing Bobby wrote for Will and the verse he picked for him.
Will, we love you so much, you bring so much joy and fun to our family. I am excited to see what special plans the Lord has for your life. I pray that you will hear His voice at a young age and learn to listen and obey it always. When I was pregnant with you, the word the Lord had for you was that Will is going to be a warrior for the Lord's kingdom. God is going to use your life to impact others in a mighty way that will bring glory to God! I love you always and forever!
