Tallulah's dedication day

Tallulah had her Mormon baby blessing in South Carolina two summers ago, but when we started attending the Unitarian Church here, we wanted to do their version of "totally not a Christening" which in Unitarian terms is called a "Child Dedication." You can read a little bit more about it here. We had something of a debate about whether Atticus should participate too, but we felt he was a little old and might have misbehaved. We should have realized that Lulah would be at a prime age for acting up at the wrong times, while Atticus can at least be bribed. So, Atticus ended up being fairly sweet in participating, and sad that he didn't get a nice blanket. And Lulah, grumpy from getting done being sick, just wanted to explore the stage behind us. We still enjoyed it though, and it was so nice to have so many of our friends there.

Let me back in!

Look at all those other well-behaved children. Sorry for disrupting guys.

Oh well, at least we've got each other
