Madelyn's Baby Dedication

We dedicated Madelyn to God today!! It was a great experience. Pastor Mary Ellen performed the dedication and she did a wonderful job!! At our church, they focus on the meaning of the child's name and then find a Biblical verse for each individual child based on the meaning of their name. Madelyn means high tower and the Bible verse that was chosen for her was Proverbs 18:10.

"The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the Godly run to him and are
safe." Proverbs 18:10



Madelyn had quite a crowd at her dedication. Grandma Patty, Grandpa Dave, Uncle Josh, and Great-Grandma Morr all came to support Madelyn. Grandma Jane, Grandpa Randy, Uncle Cory, Auntie Abby, and Uncle Blake all drove up from Galveston to be with us for the day.


Auntie Abby and Uncle Blake are getting married in less than 2 weeks!! Hurray!!!



Grandma Jane and Grandpa Randy gave Madelyn "Tiny Bear's Bible" after her dedication. She absolutely loved it!!! There is a fuzzy bear on the cover and anytime anyone held it in front of her she just stared at it in amazement.



She was all smiles for Uncle Cory too!


Maddie was a little cranky at church after the service, so we thought we would take pictures at lunch. We took one of the three of us...


And one blurry picture of the Beck family before...


She pooped all over her beautiful white dress and had to be a naked baby!! We weren't able to get any pictures of her with the Worthington side, which was a real bummer!! We are going to have to work on being more ladylike!!

  2. I love the idea of using each child's meaning of his/her name during the dedication. I'm sure that makes it much more personalized. She looked super cute in her dress! :)
