Well, I'm only a few weeks behind at this point. But I thought I'd go ahead and tell about Lizzie's dedication, anyway.
On February 8th, we, along with several other families, had the opportunity to dedicate our sweet baby to the Lord. It was a joyful time tinged with wistfulness and anchored in the weighty responsibility of stewarding the life of our little daughter.
Lizzie wore a gown her great-great-grandfather's baptismal gown. It's been worn by five generations of Knorr's, so it held special meaning, especially for Danny's family. Such a legacy.
Danny parents came. My mom came, and so did my dad. My Aunt Dorothy and Uncle David were there. Lizzie's nanny, Chandra, came with her mom. Our precious friends Jessica and Stephen drove down from Vancouver, and our community group and other church friends stood by us. Aunts, uncles, cousins, and Lizzie's great-grandmother were all there with us in spirit. The weekend was full of family and friends, laughter, stories. Memories were made and Lizzie charmed all.
We would love it if y'all woudl join us in praying for Lizzie as she grows. We've chosen Colossians 1:9-12 as her dedication verse, and it is our fervent prayer that the Lord will bring her to know Him and will make her a woman after His own heart. Amen.
"For this reason since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to sak that you mat be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience, joyously giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light." Col. 1:19-12
With all our hearts,
Danny, Amy (and Lizzie)

Fun new post! Lizzie is already so loved- I can't believe how many people were there! Also love the dedication dress.
I as well love this recent post. The absolute joy and love you have for your baby is written all over your face. She is one special little girl!! And to have so many others who love her and her parents. Priceless.
Blessings on you, little Lizzie. May you come to love the LORD deeply and may the verse your parents chose be true of you all the days of your life!!
Still eagerly anticipating the bluebonnet pics...maybe they're not up due to excessive reviewing of my work...in that case, dawdle all you like! ;)
Amy, I'm so excited to find your blog! (You could have made it a little easier by mentioning it in one of our emails or phone conversations). Anyways, I enjoyed reading your past posts!
