Parent Commissioning

We took part in this service last year with Zeke. You can read about it here. (this will give you the background on what it is and why we participate) Since we are trying to have a baby every year in order to be a part of each wave of babies on staff (JK), we were commissioned last Saturday along with 20 other families. There were 24 babies total (4 sets of twins!) and 4 were staff babies (more staff babies have been born in the past year, but not everyone could make it this time). I am hoping to get the pics that we had taken there because ours leave much to be desired...

talking about how to get Zeke to look at Paw Paw (who had no clue he was taking pictures through out this whole time)

Look at PawPaw

3 out of 4 ain't bad...

And this is the best we got...

Benjamin,

Son, we love you dearly and are so proud and blessed to be your family. We pray that we will be a daily living example of Christ's love to you. We desire to honor and serve our mighty God through parenting you. Our hope is that you will run hard after God all of your days. Our verse that we have chosen for you is Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope". Our prayer is the same that we have for your brother: that you would grow into a man who worships, with your whole life, Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We love you, peanut!

Mama, Dada, and Zeke
