On February 14, 2016, we dedicated Carson to Jesus. We stopped dragging our feet since I realized that each boy will have been dedicated the February after he was born. At IBC, the bigs were each 4 months old because you hop on when they decide to do a dedication. Grace lets you choose which day and we happened to select a day when another family was dedicating their baby and it was nice to not be alone. They even moved it to the beginning of the service instead of the end so that we could feel better about bringing the brothers on stage and then taking them to class. The time on the stage went well except Carson pulled so hard on the mic that Pastor Andy ended up taking if off his head to speak into it.
Everyone met us at church to witness the dedication. We then went Flaming Buffet to eat lunch as a group. This didn't go so great because there was a huge line which meant it took longer to get seated which meant lunch took longer than it should have and Carson had been a trooper for so long and just couldn't hang on any longer. So I aborted lunch and took the boys home so I could get them changed and Carson down for a nap. David drove Kim to our house shortly after I left and then went back to pick up Seth. I'm so thankful for family that is so helpful when we need them. They just step into the gap and help without being asked. I wasn't expecting or asking her to leave lunch early, but I sure was appreciative.
After lunch everyone came to have dessert here. I bought a new blue tablecloth on clearance, put my lace square on top and added a few decorations I had bought at Party City. I also decorated the table with pictures of his life so far, aging him from left to right. Seth and Kim both commented that I had decorated quite a bit for this, but my only response was "I guess I was in need of throwing a party."
