Addison's Dedication

Sweet Addison in her dedication dress. The dress has a hand-embroidered cross and the verse Joshua 1:9 on it. This verse says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

The dress was given to us back in the Spring by a friend and co-worker, Julie Smith. She purchased the dress at an auction to raise money for a little boy in Hoover who has cancer. Not only is it a beautiful dress, but it was for a good cause.

Pastor Mark Schrade praying for little Addison and for Wayne and I.

My parents (on the left), Wayne's parents (on the right), as well as my grandparents (hidden behind us) joined us on stage for the ceremony. Yes that is a tiki hut behind us and no our church doesn't always look that way. The stage was set up for a children's music on Sunday night. It was an interesting backdrop for the ceremony.

Addison's Baby Dedication was on November 16, 2008 at Metropolitan Church of God. We were blessed to have about 25 family and friends join us at church for the dedication. Then we all enjoyed food and fellowship at Michael's Steak and Seafood. We appreciate everyone showing up to celebrate this wonderful event with us. Like I have said before--There is one thing Addison will never lack--people who love her. This large crowd was a strong testimony to that. We love you all!
