Spring is in the air!

This past weekend, I went to the flower show in Philly with my mom, mom-in-law and sister-in-laws. The weather was gorgeous and it felt good to be outside without big heavy coats on! I left Gideon with Colin for the day which was great for them to have some daddy and son bonding time. Colin told me later that night that he had one of the best days of his life hanging out with Gideon. He's such a great daddy!

Here's some of my favorite shots from the show!


All us crazy ladies!


Trish bought tulips for all of us. How sweet! Mine are blooming on my coffee table right now! It's a taste of Spring!

I LOVE window boxes and dream of a house someday with some like these!


Mom and me!



Sunday was also a very special day. We publicly dedicated Gideon to God at our church. We know that he is a precious gift and does not really belong to us, but to God. We think it's very important to acknowledge this to God and others. We pray that Gideon will be a mighty warrior for our God (as his name means) and become a follower of Him.

After the dedication, Colin's family took us out for brunch at our local Royann diner. Here's a few snapshots!




It was one of Gideon's first outings to a restaurant. He did wonderful!
