Dedication

We had the boy dedicated at the church a couple of weeks ago. These dedications have come to mean so much to me & our family - this one in particular was really special. Our church took some time to rethink the way dedication was happening....trying to be more intentional rather than doing something for the sake of doing it - recognizing that this or a christening is simply a family publicly deciding to raise a child in the ways of the Lord. They seemed to figure out the "why" & then came back with a bang. The process was so good for us. We go to a pretty big church, so the fact that they went the extra mile to make this be intimate for each of us was special.

Here are some pictures from the big day. And Nancy (cousin) you can tell my dad he's on the blog & then explain to him what that means....and then tell him he looks best when he smiles at the camera rather than his normal look-at-the-person-next-to-him pose.
