Dedication

This last Sunday at church was a special day for the Schween family. Jersey and Tyson were dedicated! As we talked about having Jersey dedicated at our church here in Castle Rock, we realized that in all of the job/moving commotion, we never dedicated Tyson...oops. That would be sad if he looked back at his baby pictures and realized we skipped that step! So we were very blessed to have them both dedicated on Sunday, and I think doing it together will always be a special memory for us.

Jersey looked like she was a flower girl, and Tyson looked pretty darn handsome in his first TIE! I was most nervous that Jersey would spit up on me, or the stage (or on our pastor, heaven forbid!), or cry if she got scared, but both kids did fabulously! Robin's parents came to our church for the occasion, and were a big help to me before we went up on stage since I would have had a hard time hanging on to both kids and keeping them quiet. And, side note, Tyson is usually in the nursery, but being out in the "big service" and watching daddy lead, he didn't take his eyes off of the drum kit during worship...he was captivated. I missed having my family there that morning, but we assigned someone to take pictures (thanks Lisa!) so they could get a glimpse of the event.

Blessing little Jersey girl (who didn't make a peep, even when Pastor Paul was holding her!).

Praying for our babies...

Jersey getting "Lion Kinged" ;-)

When Pastor Paul reached out towards Tyson, Ty of course thought he was trying to give him "five" and promptly "fived" him back. It was hilarious. I think Paul was a little caught off guard since he wasn't expecting that!

Photo opp after the service.

Surprisingly, the kids even sat together for a minute after the service (I figured they'd be falling apart by then!), so we got a couple of pictures. Nothing amazing, but better than I thought they would turn out after such a long morning.

Pretty girl all "dolled up" for the day. I know I'm biased, but I thought she was such a little beauty in her little outfit ;-)

It was a wonderful morning, and I felt so blessed to be at Castle Oaks Covenant for the occasion. Who knew when we moved that we would end up at such a fabulous church home. God definitely surprised me in that respect and I'm so glad that we've gotten to know and love so many people there! Tyson Lloyd and Jersey Joy...we love you so very much and thank the Lord for you every day!
