Grace's Dedication

Today was a special day for our family. Grace was dedicated at our church, Pathways. Dedication is similar to baptism but it is our (as parents) commitment to God to raise Grace to know and follow God. Mike and I will do our best to lay a foundation through teaching and example to help Grace make the decision to trust in Jesus. As part of the dedication process they ask the parents to choose a "life verse" for the child and we chose the following for Grace...

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen." 2 Peter 3:18

We liked this verse because of the reference to "grace" and it felt like it really fit the occasion since Grace is only at the beginning of her life journey and we hope that as she grows physically, she grows spiritually as well.
We went to Panera after church with Nana, Grandma, Pa, Ash, Jeff & Trina, and Grace was in heaven with most of her favorite people around. Unfortunately Papa couldn't join us because he was in Montana.

Oh, and another little highlight of the weekend - my neighbor told me about a new cupcake shop in town that is basically a competitor to Sprinkles and we checked it out on Friday night. The cupcakes were SOOOO good! If you live in the area, I highly recommend Frostings. The have some amazing flavors and I can't wait to go back again. My neighbor is going to start a cupcake business and, lucky for us, we get to be her market research guinea pigs!!
