The Birthday Girl
Then, on Saturday at 4:00, we had a dedication service for Maggie and two other babies/toddlers in our small group. Our church does not have dedications during our regular church service due to the size of our church. So, we asked Joey Espinosa, our children's pastor, to lead the ceremony for our kids. He did such a wonderful job. It was a very sweet, special time for all of the families.
Someone is excited about being dedicated to the Lord!Immediately after the dedication, we came back to our house and had Maggie's birthday party. On Sunday, Maggie turned a year old! I can't believe it. She had a great time with all of her family around. Campbell, Maggie's best friend, even came! She loved her birthday cupcake, and didn't seem to mind that everyone was staring at her while she ate. Elizabeth helped her open her gifts, and boy did she get some fun gifts! Maggie and Mommy were both very excited!
Happy First Birthday to Me!You would think that would be the end of our weekend...it's not. On Sunday, my brother, Bradley, proposed to his girlfriend, Taylor. And, she said yes! He drove her to Charleston (where they both spent part of their childhood), and popped the question before he took her to a very nice restaurant for lunch. Then, they spent a little bit of time in Charleston, and came back to G'ville to have a family dinner with us and Taylor's parents. We are so excited that Bradley snagged such a wonderful Godly woman, and we so glad that Taylor is going to be a member of our family! Yea!

We had a wonderful weekend filled with all kinds of God's richest blessings! Praise Him from whom all blessings flow!
