This post is coming about 1/2 a month late. Our computer got a virus, then we all got viruses, so not much has gotten done around here lately. The good news is we are all on the up-swing now.
In the middle of Jan, we had my entire family down for an extended weekend. That is right my parents, grandparents, siblings and their families. 12 people stayed in our home and 4 got hotel rooms....and we loved every minute of it! It was the first time Marissa got to meet her Great-Grandparents. Her Great Grandpa is who she is named after, so it was a very special visit. Here are a few pics from our weekend.

The youngest granddaughters and the youngest grand kids
Lots of family love here
The highlight of the weekend was Marissa's baby dedication. My grandfather did a very moving ceremony for us, charging us to raise Marissa in a Christian home. It is our greatest desire she will learn to love Jesus and to love others with her whole heart. It meant so much to have one of the men I admire the most perform this little ceremony for us. It is a moment I will never forget. Thanks, Grandpa!
Back to the house
Izzie had fun dressing Marissa and the dogs had fun with each other too!
More love to go around
