Party Time!




Well, we had a crazy couple of days this past weekend. We had my nephew's 3rd birthday party and I helped throw a baby shower. We had Addison dedicated at church and on top of all that we managed to squeeze in some ministry training Saturday morning! For some reason, Joey and I felt quite old as we crashed on the couch Sunday evening. Evidently, we don't have the energy we used to! Addison was trooper through all of it. She always displayed a smile and she was definitely ready to join in all the partying (as evidenced by her party hat!)

The best part of the weekend was having her dedicated at church. It was so wonderful to have both of our families join us in giving Addison to the Lord and it was very special that her Uncle Ryan got to pray for her. We chose a life verse for her that we pray over her each night- Philippians 1:9-11 which says,"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God." This verse captured all that we hope for our little girl. We pray that the Lord will bless her with a loving heart full of discernment and that He will keep her pure and use her to His glory. We love you Addison, but we know that more importantly God loves you and has a special plan for your life. We are so thankful for our precious girl!


Addison's dedication-not sure why I look so serious!

I love that verse. A perfect dedication verse. And I love how Joey looks so mischievous in that pic and you look like you're "taking care of business"... it's the perfect representation of life! Love you guys. Addison is precious. I can't wait to see her (and you) again.
