Be strong and courageous. Do not fear, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:6
This last weekend, we had the joy of celebrating Alexa's Dedication at church with our families. It was a beautiful day and a really wonderful time together. We are SO thankful for everyone who was able to make it to celebrate. Everyone who came was from 'out of town' and some of our family even canceled plans to be there...many many thanks! It was a very special day in Alexa's life that held much meaning, and I bet, one day relatively soon, she will look back at these pictures and smile... :) The verse above is a verse Doug & I chose for Alexa to be read during her dedication. It's our hope that that she will be a strong and courageous woman who chooses not to live in fear, but chooses to trust God and knows and lives in HIS love. And, there is no fear in love...perfect love (God's love) casts out all fear.
Thank you, family!
Love & Hugs,
Doug, Katie & Alexa

We put Alexa down for a nap right after the dedication service and when she awoke...instant joy! Here she is enjoying Godmom, Aunt Kelly.
If I could have one photo that would 'describe' our Alexa's personality...well, this one might be a candidate :) Here she is with her cousins, Chloe, Jenna, & Liam
sweet.
