Baby Dedication

Well, last weekend was a busy one for the Lowery household. We spent all day Saturday getting ready for a large get together at our home...we had all of the family over to celebrate my sister's engagement...Congratulations John and Heather!

Sunday was filled with Jackson's dedication and a big family lunch. We were so glad that so much of our family could be there to celebrate such a special day with us. It was very important to us to publicly dedicate Jackson back to the Lord. We had done it privately as soon as he was born, but wanted to have the public accountability and encouragement that comes with doing it at church. Sparky gave a brief challenge regarding Jackson's Christian heritage and our job to continue it before him. We were reminded of the importance of our actions before this little guy, who will (Lord willing) see Christ first through what we do and how we love. We are so fortunate to have such a loving family and godly heritage and can't wait to teach Jack all about it.

On other fronts, Jackson is growing like crazy recently....I don't have any really good pictures with me but as soon as I get some, I will load them.

We are leaving Monday to go to Chicago to visit Jon's side of the family. They have never met Jackson (I have only met them once) and so we are excited to be able to spend about a week with them. We can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving!!!

Love to all!
