Father's Day

For Father's Day this year, we had an extra special event...we dedicated Violet during the church service. We were so blessed to have many family members come to celebrate this special day with us: Randy's mom and brother, Kevin, my brother, Ben, and sister-in-law, Alli, my parents (all the way from Kansas) and both sets of grandparents on my (Jamie's) side. We were once again reminded of God's grace through our life journey as we celebrated Violet's dedication not only with our immediate family, but also with our church family. As many of you know, our church family is grieving the death of many little ones in the past two weeks. Please remember these two families in your prayers in the coming days, weeks, and months...one couple that lost their younger child (two months old) to SIDS, and another couple that lost both their girls (ages 2 and 7) in a tragic car accident last week. Please pray also for our church family, that God would grant us his strength and wisdom to walk beside them and help them in whatever ways are needed. Thank you for your prayers for our family as we dedicate Violet Grace to God and ourselves to the task of raising her with God at the center of our lives. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
