Mother's Day/Baby Dedication

This Mother's Day at our church was not only Mother's Day, but also a very special day in our family's life. We have had all our children dedicated once they were born. We do not do this so that they can go to heaven. That is not our decision, but a personal decision they will have to make on their own when they are a little older, and understand more what it means to follow Jesus, and have a personal relationship with him. We do this as a family to say, we are going to love, support, and teach you as much as we can about the Jesus we love, serve, and follow. In hopes that one day you will make a decision to follow Him too!!

Today was Deacon's turn to be dedicated to the Lord. What a blessing and an honor it is to be his parents. We are so thankful to the Lord that he allowed us to be his parents!
Deacon receiving his first Bible. He was so excited he kept saying, "Mine, mine, mine." :)
As we celebrated mom's on this day, I can't help but think fondly of Deacon's birth mother, and the huge sacrifice she made for her boy!! There will always be a GREAT love for his birth parents. We may never meet here on this earth, but we pray that one day we will meet in eternity, and spend forever there as a family!!

Baseball and Soccer

March, 2010
I am WAAAAY behind on blogging. So I am sitting down today to get caught up. We have had quite a bit going on, and have been busy busy!! Once baseball season started up we went out to cheer on our favorite high school team the TIGERS!!!

Deacon cheering on the Tigers!! He likes the concession stand the best. :)

Sleep, Donuts, and a little Celebration!

Our sweet precious little Deacon has adjusted so well...... except for at night time. Since we have been home he has yet to sleep through the night. He does a great job at finding a way to get in bed with us. :) Once there he sleeps great while we get kicked and booted out of our spot. ha!! Last night was momentous! He stayed in his bed ALL NIGHT LONG!! Whooo Hoooo!! So we made a BIG deal out of it. We clapped and cheered and took a trip to the donut shop.

Happy boy with his donut holes. :)
KG got in on the celebration too.
