Dedicating Scott




On Christmas Day, we had Scott dedicated at church. We stood in front of the church and committed to bringing Scott up according to the Word of God. And because we know that we'll fail in areas, we had our church committ to assisting us in raising our child to love and fear God.

Scott did great. He didn't cry, make random noises or puke on anything. He was mesmerized by the people and the lights. When Pastor Lee talked to Scott, our little guy looked right at him as if to be listening intently. When Pastor held him (his hands were shaking), Scott was perfect and just looked around. It was a proud parent day for us and it will be an ongoing challenge to raise him right and set a good example.

Scott just chillin' after church waiting to go home. He wore this cute little shorts outfit (yes, it is winter here). It was the same outfit Ryan got baptized in so it was special for Scott to be able to wear it too.

Little Scott is so cute! Shorts in the middle of winter is a little strange, but glad he was able to wear the same outfit as his daddy to be dedicated. How special!

That is neat he wore the same outfit - that is something that his kids will be able to wear when they are dedicated... very very special.

How special for Scott to be dedicated on Christmas Day! Although I'm not a member of your church, I'm behind you guys all the way and you have my prayers.
