These dedications are exhausting

We feel blessed to have so many family and friends there to share our special day

Dr. Van Genderan (whom I went to Africa with) was able to join us



Ella and Nathan were dedicated to the Lord this past Sunday. It was a truly wonderful and humbling experience as a new parent. We were surrounded by family and friends while we read our covenant letter to Ella and Nathan. We vowed to raise Ella and Nathan as children of God. It was a very special day and we were able to celebrate at Tim's parent's home afterwards.

I so wish my family could have been there, but I know they were there in spirit. As for other updates, we have been excited because Nathan and Ella have slept through the night for two nights in a row. Yeah.........
