Miaya's Dedication

Miaya had her dedication last Sunday, including a celebration of her arrival into our family. Her new church family welcomed her with open arms, joining us in the celebration. She was not real thrilled about the water dribbling part, but otherwise behaved quite well. Her godparents are Kim's brother Karl, his wife Julie, and Kim's friend Belinda. She has a great set of godparents who will give her support and good advice when she needs it. Following the service, there was a brunch for all attending invited to partake.

"Why is this man trying to pour water on me?"
Rev. Wainwright performs the ritual.
