Our Weekend

Certificate of Baby Dedication

"Let the little children come to me and do not stop them for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs" Matthew 19:14

Jacob Gregory Garner

Today in front of our military family and friends Josh and I dedicated Jacob to the lord and our faith. It is similar to a baptismal however a dedication can be explained like this; Many parents seek to concerate their children to the lord, The dedication service is for the child to be recieved and welcomed by the congregation. It is also a time for both the parents and the congregation to dedicate ourselves to the raising of this child in the faith.

While Josh has been gone and I have been active in the PWOC, I have grown close to many, many families that have all loved on Jacob and watched him grow, it only seemed right to devote ourselves to raising Jacob as a Christian in front of all the wonderful people we have grown close with.

The event was very short notice but i am truly thankful for the Lords belssing that it all worked out. Our Chaplin was honored to meet Josh, he has been such a supporter of the deployed spouses and a support system for us here at home.

The rest of the weekend was busy as well, On Saturday we went to the base easter egg hunt. Jacob had fun trying to see if the plastic eggs could fit in his mouth, it was rather chilly, Jacob had a hat but of course i yanked it off before photos could be taken. i learned my lesson now he and i are both sick, we are both miserable and poor daddy is doomed to get it.

Friday, we were all up early including Paolo, because we had the marvelous plan to take him to Venice with us, he has only been once to drink a coffee wiith his friend. That to me was like driving to the grand canyon to drink a hot chocolate and never exploring the sites. We arrived at the station to find out it was 2 hours till the next train OOPS!!! Guess i could have check the schedule online. so back home we went, u dont wait for soemthing for 2 hours with an infant. we stopped at a cheese store on the the way and then ended up at a pizzeria for lunch. Paolo wasent to upset mostly b/c he doesnt understand our facisnation with the sites of Italy.

Nothing else planned for the rest of Daddy stay. More blogging to follow after Easter!
