Emerson's Dedication

We had Emerson dedicated at our church on Sunday. The dedication was at 2:00, so we had our friends and family over for a little celebration beforehand. It was a beautiful day and it was so wonderful to be surrounded by so many people who love Emmie. We are so thankful for all of you who traveled so far to help us celebrate Emerson's special day and we missed those of you who couldn't be there. She is still fighting the virus she had last week (we went back to the doctor today), so she looks a little rough in some of these pictures. She was a trooper though!

It was a crowded house!














Emmie enjoyed being passed around to her cousins, grandparents, aunts, and uncles!













Dad thought both schools needed to be represented so he redesigned her outfit (this was obviously before the girls helped me dress her for the service)










We tried to get a good picture of her and Noah together, but she wasn't very happy. Noah looks as cute as ever though!












Noah's blog has some great pictures from the weekend













Emmie almost put her feet in the cake :-)













Aunt Lyn was very excited to finally meet Emerson!












During the dedication service, Emerson was captivated by Pastor Jamie's voice. She really looked like she was listening and taking it all in the whole time!












Nick and I wrote a family covenant and read it at the dedication. We got a little choked up but we made through...we are just so blessed by this little girl!
