A Visit from Grammy and Pops

So I am finally getting around to posting pictures from when my (Val's) parents visited two weekends ago. While they were here we visited Hampton Beach, NH, went into Boston for the day to see a few sites, and they also came to Caleb's Baby Dedication at church on that Sunday. It was a really fun visit, Caleb definitely enjoyed seeing them! Here are some shots from that trip:


Caleb getting changed in the cabana...ready to go into the water!



When Pops, Jason and Val were boogie-boarding, Grammy was back at the cabana playing with Caleb and finally got him to nap. It was so precious!


The boys walking on the boardwalk checking out the stores.



We took a quick detour to the playground at the beach so Caleb could get some swinging time. He also went down the slide for the first time too. (Don't worry...even though it looks like Caleb is by himself, Jason assisted him the whole time and just stepped away for the picture at the bottom!)


Grammy and Pops by the ocean.



Right before we left, Pops taking in the scenery.



Bath time once we got home created some AWESOME hair! Ha ha!



The next day we went into Boston. Caleb was ready to go in his Red Sox romper Grammy and Pops got him!



The first stop after lunch was to take a ride on the famous swan boats.



Pops hanging out in Boston Common.


We didn't go in, but we still couldn't resist taking a picture of the front of the Cheers Bar! We also went to the MIT museum, which had really cool stuff...but no one took any pictures, so that is the end of the Boston trip!


And finally, here are some pictures of Caleb's Baby Dedication. For those of you who are wondering what a Baby Dedication is, it is a public acknowledgement in front of the church that we as Caleb's parents are dedicating him to God in how we raise him and teach him about Jesus, while we commit to living as examples of Jesus before him the rest of our lives. This was definitely an important and special day for us to declare this!

Pops and Grammy with Caleb before the service. Check out his adorable little tie!


During the dedication after Caleb was prayed over by our Pastor, he received a gift of a children's bible from the church to remember this special day.
