Baby Dedication

On Mother's day this year we had a special day planned. 

Carmella was going to be dedicated to our church family at Cornerstone Community Church.

A baby dedication is a ceremony in which the parents make a commitment before the Lord to submit their child to God's will and to raise that child according to God's Word and God's ways. The church and family members agree to help raise this child up to know and love God. And when Carmella is old enough to accept Jesus as her savior then she will be baptized. 

All dressed up and ready for Church.

Many of Carmella's extended family members were there to watch her dedication.

After the ceremony we were able to snap a quick picture with the Petretto extended family. 

And a quick photo op for Carmella and John (well of course Meg and I too).

Looks like Meg and I were the only ones looking at the camera.

Next up a mother's day celebration with the entire family.
