Drew's Dedication

Our little Drew Isaac was dedicated on November 21st! We belong to a non-denominational church and do not practice infant baptism... instead we put the responsibilty on the parents and the dedication service is designed for the parents to make a promise to God, themselves and the congregation that they will raise the child in a Christian home and teach the child all about God and then when the child is old enough they will choose baptism for themselves. (this was the way I was raised as well, and our first child to be dedicated versus baptised, so this was a pretty special moment in our lives).

Nina & Papa Hamann, Nina Wilson, Uncle Matt, and our immediate family were all there to witness this special occasion for Drew and Mommy & Daddy.

We had the service Sunday morning and then followed it with a little brunch at our house! My friend Sarah made the cake and it turned out BEAUTIFUL! - - not to mention YUMMY!! :) - - Thanks Sarah!

The Service...

Debbie Spidle, the children's minister at our church did the service. We got a rose and a certificate for Drew! They showed photos of Drew on the large screens in the background and then played a message I recorded for Drew. The message was as follows:

Drew,

You have brought SO MUCH JOY to our lives. The sounds of your coos, the twinkle in those BEAUTIFUL blue eyes and that smile!

You are a gift from God and we love you so much!

Your big brothers adore you! Your Daddy can’t wait to cuddle you when he gets home… and I TREASURE every minute I get to spend with you!

We feel SO BLESSED to know this kind of love… and we want you to not only experience THIS love…but also the love of our wonderful GOD. It is because of Him that we can share this love with you.

Today we are dedicating you, our precious baby boy in hopes that you will grow to know the love of our Father.

We love you more than words, Drew!

your Mom and Dad

Brunch...

We came back home to continue the celebration and had a brunch with the family!



We love you Drew... and know that God has a special plan for your life on this Earth... and we feel so lucky to get to be a part of it!
