Riley Renee's Dedication

This past week we had the pleasure of dedicating our sweet little girl.  The dedication is nothing more than a commitment to raise Riley in a God-fraring home... and do our best to encourage her to know Him.  Instead of attending a church service and focusing on Riley for 5 minutes, we decided to have Jesse's dad dedicate her.

 I made some quiches.  They turned out yummy...
 And some parfaits.

 My Parents

 Ashley Melikian... a great friend of mine from high school.

 Chelsey, Luke and Becca... great influences in Riley's life.
 Auntie Cherie, Oma, Auntie Christy and Chelsey
 Charity, Grace and Lily

 Uncle Blake and Chelsey
 Another great friend Emmy.
 And the birthday girl... thanks for sharing your birthday with Riley's celebration!

 These two (Aubrey and Christopher) ... they love each other so much!

 Pure chaos! 


The meaning of Riley Renee is courageous and reborn. 
 Both sets of grandparents, Jesse and I got to pray a special prayer over Riley.  It was so meaningful!


 The Penners
 Our blue-eyed girls...
 The Hansons
 And, the cousins... if only you could have seen the other pictures (believe it or not, this is the best shot...at least you can see everyone's heads!)
