Jack's Baby Dedication

Yesterday we had Jack dedicated at our church. A baby dedication isn't like a baby baptism where we think that Jack will go to heaven now just because of the decision we have made. We believe that Jack needs to come to that decision on his own. A baby dedication is where Michael and I are publicly saying we are going to raise Jack in a Christian home in the hopes that one day he will accept Jesus as his Savior. It's also a reminder to the church that they are responsible in a way for Jack coming to know Jesus. We invited a bunch of family and friends to join with us on this special day. It was so nice that so many of them came.

I had my mom take this picture because it reminds me of the picture of Owen and I on his dedication day.

Hmmm...what's gonna happen at the church this week?

There were even more family and friends there to see Jack get dedicated, but they sat in different spots. Ga-Ga & Pa, Grandpa & Grandma Martin, Uncle Rick, Aunt Michelle, Avery, Cooper & Paige, Jim & Norean, Micah, Kim & Andy, Kevin, Julie, Louise & Kadyn all came to celebrate with us.

This was Pastor Proctor's first baby dedication as the Senior Pastor of CBSR.



After church a few of us headed over to Roaster's by SeaTac Airport and had lunch. It was yummy! Both Owen and Jack were sick with a cold, but they did really great.

Jack was just tuckered out from all the festivities he thought that Pa's shoulder would be a great place to take a little nap.
