Grammy & Grandpa Brown Visit

Paul's parents were in town for a longer visit at the beginning of August.  They got a chance to get to know their granddaughter.  There was time for "reading" stories, and snuggling.  Of course, Grandpa found time to wash and clean out the cars.  This was also appreciated, but more by Paul than anyone else.

The Sunday before they left, we had Lotty's baby dedication at church.  It is sort of like a baptism, but less wet and letting her decide about it later.  It was an opportunity to use the wonderful, antique blanket that our friends Ryan and Nikki gave to us.  It was a very nice service, especially since our pastor, Jeanne, has a wonderful way with babies.
