Lila's Dedication

A few Sunday's ago we dedicated Lila at our Church.  A dedication is a bit different than a baptism in that we as parents, family, and friends, publicly commit to raising Lila to become a follower of Christ and that someday she will chose to become baptized.









Many members of our family were in town for the event.  My sister Leslie and brother-in-law Steve came in from Seattle and my brother Doug and his wife Susie came with their kids Lucas and Asher from Grand Rapids.  Kim's family was also there as well.  It was very moving to be up in front of church and see so much of our family present in support. 



Kim and company put together a wonderful spread of food for the after-party. Thanks to all who helped and contributed!



We also had many friends come by to celebrate and pass the little Lila bird around.


A typical smile for Lila - she brings us so much joy and it was fun to give her all our focus for her big day.
