Sarah Kate's Dedication and a YAK!!

Last Sunday, the 15th, Sarah Kate was dedicated at church. It was a special time and we celebrated at our home afterwards with family. Here are some photos from the day...
My friend Mary Kay came and so did her 98 year old mom! Yes, 98 and she refused to ride the chair down the steps, love her!!!
Here is my gram, Avis, hence Sarah Kate Avis Swensen!!
In front of church...Scott's Uncle Ron, the pastor, standing to our right.
Scott's dad served as the pastor for the dedication portion of the service. That was very special!

The cake...can't flip a picture, don't know why...
Our family following the service! Scott and I are so blessed!
Grammy and Grandpa!

Now on to other happenings...
Wednesday proved to by a long dad for both Sarah Kate and her dad. This is what it looked like in the living room not long after supper...
This weekend we went to New Hampshire and had a wonderful time! My cousin Abby got married at her husband's grandparents' farm. What a beautiful day!!!
Here is Scott and the kids before the service...
Here is my favorite photo of he weekend. My gram had ten children and as a result I am one of twenty-six grandchildren. Here I am with many of my first cousins and some of us grabbed our kids to include in the picture too! How fun!

Apparently, Nicholas loves to dance and he and Dakota spent an hour straight on the dance floor trying to copy the moves of adults. So cute!!
Here are by babies living large in the hotel after the wedding!
On the way home from New Hampshire we stopped at the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, MA as this is the only zoo in New England that has a yak. Yes, a yak! Nicholas absolutely loves Yaks and has for months and months. it started because Y is a favorite letter and the yak is often the associated picture in alphabet books and activities. He was so excited to finally see a yak in real life. I have to say I was too! Nicholas has created a love of yaks in me and going to the Stone Zoo has been a top priority of mine all summer. Well, me made it! Here it is...




Now...the next challenge...
Nicholas has informed me that he definitely wants to be a yak for Halloween!
