Graham is getting dedicated at church on Sunday. Dedication is the time when we commit before our church family that we plan to do our best to raise Graham in a godly manner, and the church prays together for us and Graham, and they also have the opportunity to agree to help us raise Graham and be a part of his life as he grows to know Jesus as his personal Lord. I am really looking forward to this, and I am so pleased that so many family will be here to be a part of the day and the prayers involved. And how special that it's also MOTHER'S DAY!
Yesterday we went down to Picture People in Clackamas and had pictures of Graham with all of us, with both sets of Grandparents, and one each of Graham with me and my Mom and with Pat and Laura. They all look great. A special Mother's Day gift.
We're having a great time, everyone fits into the house, and we're eating well! This morning I made a great Monte Cristo Bread Pudding, and Laura is going to make us brats today ... boiled in beer & onions just like her son-in-law Jode makes them ... we've had them before and they are SO GOOD!
Here are some pictures to whet your possible appetite for more.
Graham had an accident crawling off the bed. His nose was pretty tender for a while; unfortunately he had a cold complete with thick excretions for a while ... made for some intense crying sessions and feeling bad on our part.
We got a new baby pack, and Pat is already putting it to use taking Graham along on walks to the park to run Lazslow. As you can see, Graham enjoys it! 
Lazslow and Graham both enjoy crawling through this little tunnel on their circuits around the house.No comment, except to say, isn't this the classic baby moment!?
With all the sun we had a couple weekends ago, we decided to protect Graham's eyes ... they worked for about 3 minutes, until we noticed how his eyeballs weren't really appreciating his long eyelashes!
The next three are from Easter weekend. We had lunch/dinner with Andy's girlfriend Lauren's family in Portland. Grandma Rank had sent us an Easter necktie for Graham, and Pat and I figured as long as Graham was getting dressed up, we should doll ourselves up! We had a great time.
