Sienna's dedication

A few weeks ago, we dedicated Sienna at the church we now call home, Hope Point Comm Church. I love this picture of us with our pastor b/c it captures Richard perfectly. He preaches with his eyes closed half the time. He has an amazing gift of putting words together in a unique and challenging way.

These are the questions Richard asked us:
  1. Do you recognize that these children are precious lives who belong to God and have been entrusted into your care that you might teach them to delight in the Lord and reveal His grace by serving others?
  2. Do you promise to make your home a place where the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of your children can be met as God gives you the necessary resources to fulfill your role as parents?
  3. Do you promise to continually lead your children to Jesus Christ so that as they mature, they will have the opportunity to personally invite Him to become the Savior of their lives?
  4. Do you promise to raise your children according to the teaching and instruction of the Bible so that God's character may be formed in them and His purpose accomplished through them?


Afterwards all the family went out to eat at McAlister's Deli. We love living so close to our family. We were honored that Papa, Mimi, Jordan, Beth, William, Jay, Chief, Grandma, Brooks, Erin, Brody, Addy, Sadie, Will, Lauren, Uncle Steve and Aunt Debbie came to celebrate us. There is comfort in knowing that we have such a support system around us to help us raise our girls.

Chief and Jay dressed alike!

Ok...umm...I thought I just read a post about you wanting to know if anyone could use Serelac checks and I was going to reply to that to let you know about something I just discovered. Babycheapskate.com is a place to give away unneeded baby and maternity items and find things others are giving away. You should check them out and see if there is one in your area. They have a specific section for formula coupons and checks.

If you didn't have a post about the checks you can pretend I didn't say any of this, but you should still check out babycheapskate.com :) It's a great way to reduce and reuse!

I didn't realize y'all were going to Hope Point. I know it's a great church. We have a lot of friends that go there.

I hope Adri and Kiran can play soon!

I can't wait to see pics of Hazel's dedication. What pic did you decide to use?

shannon- you aren't imagining things- i took the post down b/c I found someone to give the checks to. They don't have a freepeats in my area yet but its coming in 2009.

natalie- I'm sure you know many people at Hope Point b/c they all seem to work at your former place of employment!

congrats on the dedication. and kelley your hair looks so pretty! in the top pic it looks all curly and crinkly and then in the bottom pic it's smooth. I guess that's the magic of southern humidity, but girl -- it's working well for you!

Thanks Erin. My hair is driving me crazy but I'm bound and determined to let it grow so I can donate it. I think also the back is curlier than the front so.....yeah. It changes with every pregnancy.
