Dedicating Sammy!

Great is thy Faithfulness!  We are so blessed to be able to have Sammy to dedicate!  There isn't a day that passes that I don't thank God for the enourmous gift he has given me and Paul.  I never knew how wonderful it would be to become a mother and watch another person grow under my care.  I pray without ceasing that he becomes a man who loves the Lord with all his heart, mind and soul.
Our church, dedicates all the babies born in the past year together on father's day.  

It was quite the day for us.  We hadn't been to church since the weekend before Sam was born!  Partly because of the hurt of getting kicked out of our small group when I was 18 weeks along, and partly because we had a hard time figuirng out a time when Sam wasn't going to be needing a nap during worship service.  

Dedicating Sam and returning to church were awesome.  I'm glad that long break is over!  We were blessed to dedicate Sam with his cousin William.  Father's Day 2011, my sister in law Amy was in labor on father's day!  So it was also a big blessing for them to celebrate not only the dedication of their son, but father's day and Will's first birthday!  Ironically their first son Jack was born on mother's day!  Amy has this whole birthing on a holiday thing figured out!

Here are some pictures.  I wish I had some more/better ones to share.  When you give your camera to your parents, you never know what you're going to get!

Thanks Anna. He wouldn't be here without your prayers, I know that without a doubt in my mind. I'll never forget telling you I was pregnant, happy and miserable with all day sickness. God heard you loud and clear, you praying over me provided instant relief.
