On Sunday we had Sophie dedicated at church. I use quotation marks because it would really be more appropriately called "parent dedication," as the commitments made are made by Erik and me. We went before the church body and committed to seek to raise Sophie in the manner laid out in Scripture. While we were up there the weight of it all hit me - what a huge responsibility to model Christ to this sweet child every minute of the day. I am so thankful for Grace - that when I fail at this with Sophie, God is always faithful. Erik and I are both so grateful for our own parents and the godly upbringing we had.
Speaking of our parents, it was so wonderful to have them join us Sunday for Sophie's dedication. My grandma (Cat) and Erik's granny came as well, so we had a full house for lunch and Sophie was definitely the star of the show.
With our pastor, Byron Yawn
The whole clan: Roger, Carol, Granny, Erik, Cath, Sophie, Linda, Tom, Grandma
There's something about Pops - Sophie loves to sleep on his shoulder
We had fun playing with Papa for a couple of days
And finally,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE PETE!
From your cool niece Sophie

I totally understand, Catherine!! It's a serious thing... being responsible for this little life. How grateful I am for a gracious, loving, redeeming God!!
As for the previous posts... we also totally understand the need for prunes. :) Fortunately our girls like them too - I definitely prefer the pears, apples, bananas - things light in color. We definitely just had to take a bath after our first prune experience :)
How fun to watch our girls grow up. And to think - the next six months will be even more fun than the first six! :)
