Baby Einstein

Baby Einstein (for those of us out of the game) is a video series that has done what it claims as Cole's full attention is captured. Apparently it works on cat's too.

Cole's Dedication Service

This past Sunday, July 9 was Cole's dedication at church. The purpose of the service was corporately to dedicate Cole's life to the Lord as well as commission us as parents, along with the help of family and friends, to raise her to follow Christ.
The commissioning begins where it reads "Parent-Child-Church Covenants" assuming the image is even clear enough to read. Image copied from Pastor Wayne Kent's Minister's Handbook

Aunt Crista















Cole, I love absolutely everything about you! I truly thought I knew what love was and meant, until I met you. You taught me that this "unconditional love" thing is so much deeper, wider, and more indescribable than I have ever understood it to be. How much more amazing does that make God's love for you, Cole? Just because I can't be with you as much as I want right now, doesn't mean you are ever far from me. You are forever inscribed on my heart and my thoughts and prayers. What a blessed life you already have and will live for the rest of your life. Cole, you might not realize it yet but God has given you the two most beautiful and loving parents, yet known to man. Not to mention the two "bestest" Nana and Papa ever. I love you with all my heart and I can't wait to see you again. XOXO Aunt Crista

Grandma and Grandpa Talty



words cannot express
how it feels…
to hold her in our arms
to look into her deep eyes
to touch and kiss her soft skin
to smell her sweet scent
to hear and feel her gentle breath
it is a pure and overwhelming love like no other
God has blessed us all
Brian, Jessica, and Cole, we love you.

First Sunday to Church

Here are some pics on the way to church (we forgot to take them at church). Plus, Cole had to step out for a good bit of the service anyway-during the sermon, Cole let out an "anal-amen" that had the first two rows, including our senior pastor, doubled over in an audible laughter.
