Toby's Dedication

What a special day it was. Nate and I have attended many dedication services over the years, and while a joy it is to watch, there has been this emptiness as we were waiting on the Lord to add to our family. Our hearts were filled this Sunday, as we dedicated Toby to the Lord, and committed our lives as parents to raising him in a God honoring home! Please pray that we do that! Pastor Steve Kern was the pastor that performed the Dedication service. Below he is reading the scripture that we chose for Toby:

Proverbs 3:1-6 "My son, do not forget my teaching,but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

This morning, while waiting for the bus, I attempted to rake some leaves, but the kids seemed to enjoy them thrown about more! Here are a few photos of the kiddos playing in the leaves (and yes, that is a Mohawk and a Steelers sweatshirt... not sure what to do with that boy!!)


God is SOOOO Good!
