Caden's Dedication - Mother's Day Weekend


We were blessed this weekend to spend time with Jake's family - Mom, Dad, Patty, David, Wyatt, and cousin Heather. Jake's parents arrived early Saturday morning so that Jake and his dad could put gutters on our house. I think they thought the project would move quickly, but it ended up being a bigger undertaking than expected. They worked nearly the entire day and even had to get up early on Sunday morning to work before church. By the end of the morning the bulk of the work was done, but Jake does still have a few loose ends to tie up -- applying extra sealant to the gutters and finishing up a down spout.

Joyfully both Caden (10 mos.) and Wyatt (3 mos.) were dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ at church at the Mother's Day service. Our pastor prayed for each family taking part in the dedication individually. I really love dedications - such a great reminder that our home should be a place the reflects God's love and grace, and of course, a commitment to raise our children to know about Jesus our SAVIOR and a chance to know and live for Him by their own choice.



Unfortunately, our camera battery died in the middle of the service so we don't have a picture of Wyatt's dedication. BUT, I do have a number of pictures of Wyatt playing in Caden's Jumperoo Saturday evening. He LOVED it and was totally content bouncing and watching the world. See below -- such a precious smile!

Congrats on the dedications. We participated in one for Hannah as well. It is definitely an important step and reminder. Many blessings on you and your family. SOME DAY we will make it to Flagstaff and finally see you all again!
