Dedication

Chris’ parents visited us over the weekend.  Isaiah was really excited to see them.  When he saw them coming down the escalator at the airport, he shouted, “Papa Gran!”  All weekend he called both of them  “Papa-Gran.”  I guess it was easier than remembering which name went with which person.  They brought him a couple Thomas trains and the big crane for his set, so he was happily spoiled.  They also brought a bunch of cute girl-baby out fits for Leah, but that is more spoiling me than her.  She’s not real into clothes yet.

Since Chris’ parents were here, we asked Pastor to dedicate our children.  It’s really sad that Isaiah is almost three, but he still hasn’t been dedicated.  Shortly after he was born, our church in WI went through a time of transition and there really wasn’t anyone to dedicate him.  By the time we moved to Cali, he was almost one and it just wasn’t at the top of our priority list at that point.  So when Leah was born, we decided we were going to get her dedicated right away, and Isaiah too!

Here are some pictures from their dedication:

Chris’ has only been home to eat and sleep the last couple days.  The Hell House is tonight and he’s working like crazy to take care of all the details.  I haven’t really been able to help him with much because of Leah and Isaiah.

I haven’t even seen the house yet, because I’m scared that Isaiah would get lost in it.  What they do is cover a bunch of rooms in the church with black plastic, so it is kind of like a cave.  It’s very dark and winding and easy to lose a little boy in.  Isaiah went over the other night with Papa and Gran to see the work that was done.  He saw that they had black plastic-ed over the nursery.  He got very upset, because he thought the nursery was gone.  He cried all the way home .
