Baby's First Church Service
Since the weather was supposed to be perfect today-and it was--we decided to take Tobias for his first ever church service.
The sanctuary was beyond packed, and it didn't take long to understand why. The children were performing this morning. But crowded pews wasn't a problem for us, but the kids xylophone playing was a slight problem for Tobias.
Thankfully though that was his only problem. We only had to leave the service once to calm down.He of course was a hit and he got lots and lots of "ooohs" and "ahhs." Unfortunately some of his biggest fans: Mrs. Jo and Pastor Jay missed seeing him today because of a family emergency. That's okay, there will be plenty more Sundays to love on him.
Gracie even got her chance to show him off and took him to the front for children's time. I doubt you are surprised that I took my camera and captured many moments from his morning.
Like I said, it was a special morning for our family. And, it felt wonderful to be back in church as a family of 5.

Candice GeFellers So precious!!! He's adorable just like the other two!!! I love the cover on the carrier!
Barbara Miller Shipley I made it wink emoticon I found this cute fabric that had Bible verses on it, but when I got home and unfolded it, I saw that it was squares for a quilt! unsure emoticon So, I added some hearts, a fish & the Methodist symbol to jazz it up. I love how it came out. It will be our Sunday cover smile emoticon
