I am also so sorry for not getting more pictures. We were so busy having fun that I forgot to take pictures with everyone. That makes me so sad. I just feel terrible, especially since our families drove so far to be with us. I didn't even get a picture of Blake with all of his cousins. AAgggh!
Blake, Eric and me at the cross in our church.

These are the only pictures of some of the decorations.
Bookmarks and cookies were the favors. The bookmarks had the verse,
"For this child, I have prayed." I Samuel 1:27
My mom's best friend, Susan, made these adorable and delicious sugar cookies!
Thank you, Susan!
These tags were in the carrot cake cupcakes. Yum!
I had the best time planning and hosting Blake's dedication party. But I have to say, the thing I enjoyed the most was reading and gathering bible verses to help Eric and me guide Blake so that he will grow up strong and knowledgeable in the Lord. Here are a few of our favorites:
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
Proverbs 22:6
"All your sons will be taught by the Lord, and great will be your children's peace."
Isaiah 54:13
".......Children are a reward from Him. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies....."
Psalms 127:3,5
"I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord."
I Samuel 1:27-28
"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you."
Isaiah 46:4
