Picture taking weekend

I am trying to take pictures of Emma every day, but this weekend she had two reasons for getting dressed up, and there were tons of pictures taken, so thought I'd just throw a few up real quick. 


Saturday was a nice little gathering at Marty's with the JAMZ gang - it was our JAMZ shower :)

we don't get many pics together since it's usually just the two of us, or I'm the one snapping the shots...this is is when we got home...

here's a cute one of her passed out shortly after the above.  Now that she's fitting better in newborn sized clothes, and we have so many, I'm trying to get her in everything.  Too cute to be worn as jammies, but whatcha gonna do?! :)

Here are Julie and I...I miss my friendships at work very much ;(

Thanks, Julie & Marty, for the wonderful afternoon!  We appreciate it very much :)

On to today for Emma's dedication.  It was such a special morning. 

The verse that we picked was Colossians 1:9-10

 ⁹For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. ¹⁰And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God

(for anyone that noticed, super bummed that my dress was hiked a little by the way I was holding Emma ;(...oh well...)

...afterwards we had a little BBQ for lunch at home, and were able to get a few pics with great-grandmas!

a little smile here...

...can you see how blue her eyes are getting?!

...and that's all she wrote for now.  Enjoying a little down time before Emma gets up to eat again - hopefully she takes a long nap here since she was up so long with all the company!
