Baby Dedication

Two weekends ago, we celebrated Grayson's Baby Dedication. It was such a special moment for him and our family as we dedicated our sweet angel to the Lord and made an outwardly commitment to raise him in a Christian home. Some of Grayson's grandparents came in town and one of his aunts. He is so lucky to have so many people who love him so much!

 

I loved his sweet outfit!

During the ceremony we had to read a verse and tell the congregation why we chose our verse. We chose Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." We love this verse so much - we have actually had this verse framed above Grayson's bed before he was born. We want to teach him to love and trust the Lord. However, we also want him to know that his walk with Christ may not always be easy, but by always trusting in him and praying earnestly he will see that God's plans are so much greater than he could have ever imagined.

We love you so much Grayson Michael!

XOXO,

Chicago Snow

The Chicago winter has been pretty dry so far this year, but last week we got a ton of snow, finally! Since we got some snow we were able to take Grayson outside and let him play in it AND we finally got to use our sled.

 He looks like he really loves the snow... It was FREEZING this day; I am not exaggerating!

 He decided he would crawl in the snow...

 UNTIL he face planted! Poor guy, his face was so cold!

 Dad, getting snow off his face.

 Sledding by our house - so many kids were out there and loving every minute!

 Matt, got in on the sledding action too! HAHA - it is quite fun!

 We were only out there for probably 20 minutes, but 20 minutes was enough;)

xxoo,
Tiff
