Isabel's Dedication Service

Last Sunday was Isabel's dedication service. As always, we will tell the story with pictures...

This was the dress rehearsal a day before Isabel's "Big Day".

We ditched the hairband since she was at risk of looking like a mini version of Scary Spice. A lovely hairband - but I've never quite figured out how to use those on babies with unruly hair.








Here's the scaled-down version of Isabel with her beautiful elder sister.

Will there be boy-trouble in 10 year's time?

Our church Elder conducted the service with little Hannah getting progressively bored and restless. In the end, she didn't do too badly for a 4-year-old who is usually full of beans.

Our retired pastor delivered the sermon for the day, which was a biblical and practical presentation of parenting for today. The dedication service itself was a meaningful time as we took pledges to guide and nurture young Isabel in the way of the Lord.

A regular feature at all major church events - TP's creations! The painstaking effort taken to make each of her cakes is truly admirable.

The day was over before we knew it. A big thank you to our family and church friends for being a part of the special day. Thank you for all the lovely presents - that will need some mention in another blog!
