1 Tag & 4 Awards!

I've always enjoyed seeing this tag on other blogger's sites and now I get to participate, thanks to Shydub from Simple Happy Life! :) It's called the 10th Picture In A Folder Tag. You go to a photo folder on your computer and post the tenth picture with an explanation.I decided to go to my July 2008 folder (exactly a year ago) and this was the 10th photo: Joe's baptism & Logan's Dedication on 7/13/08. Logan was almost three months old. It was beautiful weather so we had a ceremony at a park and lake with just our parents. The minister was wonderful. . .he moved the next month so I'm sad he won't be able to do dedicate our next baby (whenever he/she is born).

I wrote a post when I was pregnant that led up to this day, explaining our three experiences with Christianity (Deciding On Baby's Baptism/Dedication) and then wrote about the actual baptism/dedication in my post, 3 Months Old!--but I didn't post any pictures of it so I'm glad this was the photo that came up today! :) In fact, here's another one!Not only did Shydub give me that fun tag, but also these four incredible awards. The first two were also given to me by Chris from The Mommy Journey, and three of them were given to me by Jacris from Mom's Special Diary. Chris and Jac, please pick up what you don't have, as you deserve them for the reasons I listed below! :) Thank you so much! It is a privilege to be on your blogroll and for me to come to your mind when giving out awards. I really like these awards--they are very creative and express a great compliment.Here are the rules:
1. Include the award logo in your blog or post.
2. Nominate as many blogs which you like.
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to this post and to the person from whom you received your award.

I would like to pass these to Ane from Life According To Me and Cascia from The Healthy Moms. The two of you have adorable blogs (the pictures you share of your kids), your posts often uplift me (I try to read everything you write as it's always interesting), your layouts are very artistic, and therefore you are all worthy of me "spreading the word" for others to go to your blog!

Great awards. It feels great to be awarded, doesn't it.

I like the picture of Joe holding Logan. So precious.

Jacris - I'm a dork! I was so sure you'd given me some of those awards, too, but when I went to find them the other day I couldn't. I guess that will teach me to post them right away rather than wait almost two weeks! I'm sorry - I made the correction on this post. Thanks again! :)

Maria, thanks so much!!!!! :)

Hi Andrea, thanks for sharing those photos, they are wonderful, especially the first one, Logan was sooooo cute and adorable...he was so tiny yet at 3 months, but look now, he's already an active toddler! How time flies, so fast!!

Anyway, I meant to say, Daniel had his first experience at the pool on this year's father's day, not last year. I'm sorry for the confusion... :)

Hope you have a fantastic Wednesday!!


Debbie :)

We also had an amazing weather during Lucas' baptism, it was weird cause the night before we had a storm and the next day, Lucas' baptism, the sun was shining. :D

It looks like it was a beautiful ceremony! :D

Thank you so much Andrea for the awards! I have to post them soon! :D
