Adam's Dedication

Sunday, May 10, our family gathered to celebrate Adam's dedication.  It was a wonderful day, and it was great to have family and friends to rejoice with us as Phil and I dedicated Adam to Jesus and made the important commitment to teach him how to live with Jesus in his heart.

Here we are up front listening to Pastor Rob, the children's pastor,  talk for a bit.  Pastor Rob is awesome and we love the commitment our church has made to kids and families.

Adam got a little New Testament with his name on the front and also a letter that Phil and I wrote to him.  He will open the letter when he accepts Jesus as his savior.

Praying for Adam.

It was so great that both wonderful sets of grandparents and Adam's Uncle Matt and Aunt Grace were able to come for his special day.

After church, we had a BBQ with some of our friends from church.  Adam really enjoyed himself, as you can see.  About 10 seconds after this picture was taken, Adam almost pushed the entire cake onto the floor!  Luckily, the cat-like reflexes of Grandmas Peg and Ann saved the day.

The grandmas made  yummy salads and got everything ready to enjoy.  Thank you, Grandmas!

Adam got a little tired with all the excitement and enjoyed some relaxing time with Grandpa Rob.

The little girls decided it would be a good idea to feed the fish instead of wasting the extra hot dog buns.

Proud Daddy and Mama.

We were totally not expecting gifts, but Adam had some to open anyway.  I was planning on just opening them at home, but Adam's little girlfriends were so excited for him to open them that it had to happen!  He got a couple of really good Bibles for little ones and a CD of Bible songs.  Such thoughtful friends!  The girls were totally into it...look how sweet they are!

Adam was pretty into eating his cards.

We love you, Adam, and continue to pray for you each day!
