What a weekend it has been! Jam packed of things to do, yet, went by like a whirlwind! Saturday the City of Kennesaw had an Easter Egg Hunt and so my Momma and I took Lacey. It was her very first one and we had such a great time! She came away with about 4 eggs and quite a bit of candy...although the candy will be donated to my mom's Sunday School class since Lacey can't eat it! LOL. Anyway, we were so impressed with how this easter egg hunt was run. It was so organized and went so well that we decided to make it a tradition to bring Lacey to it. I think Emily is going to join us in our tradition next year with James and Eliza.
Today, we had Lacey's baby dedication. What a joy it was to stand up there and dedicate our baby back to the Lord. What a responsibility we have. But, we are so ready for it and cannot wait to bring her up in the ways of the Lord. It was so awesome to have so many friends and family be a part of this celebration as well! Emily came and sang "What Faith Can Do". When Josh and I had our miscarriages and then found out we were pregnant again, this was the song that I just kept hitting replay on. I needed something to hold on too...some type of hope...to know everything was going to be okay. She did an amazing job singing it. Definitely brought tears to my eyes. My daddy performed the dedication. It was pretty cool being able to have him do this for our little girl...his granddaughter. And we had several friends that came to be a part of this and agree to support and mentor our baby as she grows up. Thank you to my parents, Steve & Trisha LeBlanc, Emily Heffinger, Dina & Tony Scott, Cara Michelle, Jen Arnold, Winfrey Shields and Aunt Melody. And we want to say a BIG thank you to our Radiant Life Assembly of God family. You have been so amazing to my parents through the past couple of years during the ups and downs and have been so unbelievable to Josh and I! There are no words that we could say to you to tell you how much we love you and are so thankful for you! Thank you for the amazing fellowship dinner afterward in honor of our Lacey! We are forever grateful!!!
What a wonderful way of dedicating your baby girl. This event will and should be remembered forever. Trisha said that it was such an intimate dedication. What a blessing that so many people are there to stand by you and Josh in raising Lacey up in the Lord. Congratulations to the start of Lacey's journey in God!
