Finn was dedicated at our church on Sunday, October 12th. It was awesome! In the morning service, we took an oath as parents to bring him up in a loving, educational, Christian home and to do our best to 'train him up' in the name and ways of the Lord. In the afternoon we gathered again, with family, to have a special ceremony where we laid hands on Finn and prayed over him. The pastor calls each family up seperately and the three of us prayed over him. They also told us what his name means (which his name is actually David Finn - "beloved, fair child") and read a Bible verse they gave for him. David is a strong name and we were told he will be strong, courageous and a leader. I pray those things over him every night as I rock him to sleep already, along with many other things. :) My mom, Shane's parents and our family went out to eat after...it was a great day. My dad was out of town...otherwise he would be there too.
All the pics of the actual dedication are dark/blurry b/c of the lighting in the church. So unfortunately I have nothing to share of the actual ceremony. However, here are a few pictures of me with the kids at the house in between the morning and afternoon services. I am usually the one with the camera, so I was thrilled to have some new photos of me with Finn!
