Chloe was dedicated on Sunday at church. It was a busy morning and started off a little bit rough. Brooks continued to have a temperature and wasn't feeling well at all. We toughed it out and went forward with Chloe's dedication. It was a really nice dedication and was very important for us as parents to publicly show that we desire for Chloe to be surrounded by those who love the Lord, grow up in a home with God at the center and most importantly love the Lord herself one day.

Our pastor, who we love like a family member, did a great job.

After Chloe was dedicated we whisked Brooks out of the service, brought him home and the poor little guy continued to get worse. Finally this morning we took him in and he has a double ear infection. He has been pathetic but wonderful at the same time. He is a great patient who doesn't complain and would rather be left alone when he is sick. He obviously gets this from his daddy and not his mommy (who isn't a very good patient).

We praise the Lord that Brooks seems to be getting a little bit better tonight. We also praise the Lord for our wonderful church family and our wonderful kids that He gave to us.

Greg and I are going to do a "re-do" Valentine's Day next weekend. The day was full of boogers, crying, fevers and medicine for our family. It wasn't very romantic but it is reality when you've got kids.

Who need Valentine's Day anyway, when your husband treats you like every day is Valentine's Day?
