Bama Bound!

Ryan's brother Chris graduated from Vestavia Hills High School last week and we are so proud of him! The Sunday before graduation we had a breakfast and Senior day at the DeRieuxs church. We had dinner the night before graduation at The View to celebrate with the family and Ryan's parents had the extended family over to their house for dinner before he left for the ceremony. Below are pictures from all the festivities. Chris is headed to Alabama next year and can't wait (yes, I tried hard to get him to go to Auburn but he's been planning to go to Alabama his whole life.)

How many high school seniors are an uncle to 3!

Baby Dedication





Anna Leigh's baby dedication at our church (Dawson Memorial Baptist Church) was Sunday, May 2 and it was such a special day! She did wonderful in front of the church and seemed to enjoy getting all the attention. Dr.Fenton made sure the choir and congregation got a good look at her! She looked beautiful in her dress and we were blessed to have over 20 of our family members celebrate with us!
After the service, Ryan and I had our families and grandparents to our house for a luncheon. It was so much fun and I enjoyed getting out my china, crystal and silver for a special meal!

It is very important to us that Anna Leigh grow up in a christian home and understand the importance of God in her life. We want to establish a strong christian background for her and pray that she will come to love Christ as he loves us!
