Mother's Day Weekend

Every Mother's Day, Hillside Christian Church has a baby dedication ceremony in which parents make a commitment to raise their child according to God's Word and God's ways.
Just as we did with Kaden two years ago, we decided to go through the Baby Dedication ceremony with Owen. Many parents had the same thoughts on this as there were around 80 babies dedicated that weekend over several services.

That same evening, Stephenie & Dustin stopped by our house as they were driving a big moving truck from Omaha to Scottsdale.

Of all the days for it to rain, it really rained while they were here... Ben and Dustin were still able to play a round (or two) of golf, but they had to drive to Dumas, TX to avoid the storm.
 Kaden wanted Stephenie to color with him... but made her do all of the work. 
Not only did he choose all of the colors to use, he told her where she should use them.
Chilled out Mr. Owen; he may have sat like this in her lap for two hours.

Of the 8 Cook cousins, 5 of us live out of state, and not just outside the border of Missouri.
We are scattered from sea to shining sea (San Francisco to D.C.) with Dan being over seas ½  the time.  Luckily we all still communicate and get together relatively often.
Thank heavens for modern technolory & the Internet!
