Dedication

Matthew and I dedicated our children on January 17th at Elmvale Community Church. We were able to show a wonderful video that Grandpa put together of our two munchkins. Pastor Shane charged us with raising Jackson and Grace in the Christian faith in order that they may grow to love and know God and make a difference in this world. Both sets of grandparents came and declared their support. Our church family stood and promised to support us as well. It was really rather moving and I felt a tad overwhelmed by it all.
Matt and I tend to default toward hermit-like behaviour. We're comfortable on our own - in our own home. But it felt good to be part of a group of people who were willing to stand with us and support us.
This parenting thing is not for the faint of heart. We'll take all the help we can get.
