Baby Dedication

Today was Abby's baby dedication at church. A baby dedication is a ceremony in which parents make a commitment before the Lord to submit a child to God's will and to raise that child by God's grace according to His Word and His ways. Joe and I are so thankful that God got a hold of our lives years ago and redirected our paths for His purpose. Today, we promised with all our hearts to parent our little girl with purpose and point her to the only one who gives meaning to life, Jesus!

We shared the day with some of our family and friends: Grammy, G-Diddy, Uncle Tommy, Grandma, Casey, Rob & Kelly and Joe F. After the service, our family came back to our place for lunch and football.

After her nap, Abby decided to hang out with the guys for a bit. When we sat her on the couch, she looked at them for a minute, then slouched her body down just like them.

Touchdown! Touchdown!

Thank you Jesus!
