today our family helped us dedicate violet to the lord and promised to help us raise her in a godly fashion. i look at our beautiful violet and am so thankful that god has given us yet another blessing... we are so blessed to have three beautiful, healthy children and we are so thankful. praise the lord!!

after church we had our friends and family over to participate in the "time capsule" celebration for violet. we started this tradition with isabel and it is so much fun... everyone brings something that is relevant to 2011 and that will be interesting to violet when she opens it on her 18th birthday. the plan is to bury all of the time capsules at our next house and the kids will dig them up on their 18th birthday. violet got an US Weekly, PEOPLE magazine, Steve Jobs book, the lyrics to "I Hope You Dance," disney vinylmation, 2011 disneyworld pin, a pregnant pic of me on the 4 wheeler with Em, today's newspaper, church bulletin from today, baby's first christmas ornament, church birth announcement, ticket stub from "puss and boots," and a gold dollar. this time i also took a picture of everyone with their item. in the blink of an eye our little violet will be opening her time capsule!

thank you everyone... xoxo
