dedication day

Samantha was dedicated to the Lord on sunday. The short service was an incredible blessing to us, as we committed to our great God this precious gift He has given to us. Sammy looked awful cute in her red, white and blue. We were blessed by those who came - my family, erin and kurtis, and joyce, calum and finely. Dan, our dear friend and pastor, prayed a thoughtful prayer over Samantha - and she did well with him holding her.

Here is Dan and Sammy as he is praying for her. (silly music stand in the way)

after the service we had everyone over for pizza. :)

it was a special day - powerful for Tim and I to dedicate sammy to Jesus in a public way. and equally meaningful to have some of those we love most to also dedicate themselves to Samantha. we did, however, miss our family and friends who live too far away!!
