Dedication

This past Sunday we had Sophia Catharine dedicated. To many people this means many things. To us it simply means that we are going to give her the best spiritual upbringing that we can, with the help of our families and friends.

Tim's sister & her husband, Steph & John, came all the way up from Ann Arbor to join us for this. Tim's mom, Betty, was there. As were my dad & mom, Pastor Gary & Sarah. My mom made it to church just for the dedication. (She's been sick w/pneumonia.) We were glad to have her there, not just because she's been sick, but also because she was the only one who brought a camara!

Look at how cute she looks. Her hat, pretty white dress, and cute shoes.....

The shoes are no more. The dog got them.

We had a wonderful cookout at John & Betty's on Saturday night with Steph, John, Betty & John. It was good family, good food and good fun. Grandpa John's polebarn provided the perfect place to enjoy the shade and play and eat. After dinner Ethan showed Grandma Betty what he could do with a garden hose, and then Grandma Betty showed Ethan what she thought of that.
