Dedicating Our Children

Today was a very special day at Riverside Church of Christ. We had the opportunity to "dedicate our children". A dedication to the Lord is recognition by parents and the church that each child belongs to God, and that it is our responsibility to nurture every child so that he or she will grow up in the knowledge of the true God, an be prepared to follow Christ. Steve and I made a public statement that as parents, we are committed to seekeing God's guidance to raise Macie according to scriptural principals, teaching God's word in our home and setting an example of Christian life and service. We received a beautiful certificate and a book called 'Parents Guide to the Spiritual Growth of Children.' Since this is the first year Riverside has had a Dedication, there were many families that participated... over 60 children were dedicated! They are pictured above, singing 'Jesus Loves Me'. Thanks to all of our family who joined us for this special day!

Cirque du Soleil

Friday night my friend Laura and I went to see the Cirque du Soleil production of Corteo. It was an amazing show!! I couldn't believe the strength, balance and coordination of the incredible performers. We had such a great time!

17 Months

Macie is 17 months old today!

We met Jackson and Tiffany at the park this afternoon. The kids had a great time playing and feeding the ducks!

Reading

Macie loves to sit in her big, red chair and "read". She has a big bucket of books beside her chair, and she will look at all of them throughout the day. I love seeing her so interested in books...
