A few weeks ago, was baby dedication at church. It was with great joy that we dedicated Claire.
Our church did a beautiful job of honoring children and families. Before the day, we were asked to attend a "Legacy" parenting class. This was about more than just logistics of the event, as we actually had the opportunity to discuss and journal about ways to be more intentional in our parenting.
On the dedication day, we went on stage with 12 families, with each family being highlighted. When we were called forward, they displayed some of our family photos and played audio of a letter that we had written to Claire. It truly was a special moment. After we left the stage, we were given a framed family photo with a copy our letter enclosed.
Something that made it more special was that Hailey and Hayden were dedicated as well! It has been such a gift for our two families to do life and adoption together over these past few years.
We topped it off with some SERIOUS good eats with a fish fry done by Jay's parents. Fried fish, hush puppies, french fries, cole slaw, and banana pudding=F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!

Very touching. Nice pictures and I plan to ask for a couple.
Beautiful. How fun to see Angela & Jay there having their kiddos dedicated the same day. Ya'll are on quite a journey together! Sometimes it makes me wish my kids were still little so we could experience it all again. But then, it's awfully nice to finally, as of today,have kid #1 actually graduated from college!!
