Dedication

We had a very busy weekend last weekend! On Saturday Alexander had his Child Dedication at church. The philosophy at our church is that when a person is old enough, they will make the decision about what role religion will play in their life. As children, the church performs something called a dedication which is basically the parents committing to raising their child in a Christian home. When the child is old enough to make his own decision to be baptized (or not), he or she will do so. Anyhow we had a little celebration with our families ahead of time and then attended the Saturday night service where we had our Child Dedication ceremony. It was a very special day indeed. We have asked Aunty Chantelle to be Alexander's Godmother, and she has accepted. It was a great Saturday and a very special day that will be remembered for a long time.

The next day (Sunday) was my very first Mother's Day and it was just perfect. The weather was beautiful! I played a round of 9 holes with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law and then had a BBQ dinner at my moms. Nothing too elaborate just a nice day with the mothers in my life!
