I've been away from my blog for several days enjoying my family for Thanksgiving. We shared Thanksgiving dinner with my parents in Ohio. We also had the privilege of visiting with another family who has three adopted daughters from Asia. The youngest has been home with her new family for about six months now. We had a great visit and shared experiences while the children played. It was a very good time.
This weekend friends joined us for our son's dedication at church. We have wanted to participate in a child dedication service for a while, but felt our DS was not quite ready to cooperate. The wait paid off. He was calm and quiet, though he did insist on being held. He did not cry or wriggle when the elder prayed for him, and was relatively still while the pastors spoke. I think it helped that there were bright lights shining on the platform and that he was able to snuggle in to Mama. Actually, our DD was the wiggly one and my DH had his hands full with her. It was a very special occasion. God has blessed us so much!
