This Sunday marked a very special day for our family. We had Carson's dedication at church with lots of family and friends there to celebrate with us. Before Connor's dedication we took a class that helped us define what our family valued and what our goals for the future were. We put all of that together in a family covenant. Before Carson's dedication we had a chance to look back at what we had written and were reminded of the great responsibility we have in raising our boys. It is such a blessing to know that we have a church family that will love and support us along this journey of parenting.
I loved that Ryan was the pastor that dedicated both of the boys. Bannockburn has always been a special place to Cole and I (since it is where we met) and it made it even more special to have someone in our family dedicate our boys.
I was SO nervous about how Connor would act while we were up on stage. I even took him up on stage the week before so he could practice. Thankfully my prayers were answered and he did great! He hid his head on Cole's shoulder most of the time, but I love how he took a peak during the prayer. :)
Connor loves to clap and wasn't going to miss an opportunity to join in as we left the stage.
After the service we got to celebrate another special event. Ryan's new book Walls was released and as a church we were able to celebrate with him. Connor enjoyed his slice of cake!
Lunch with our family was at Brick Oven where they have a great room to hold our large crowd. We were so thankful for all of our family that traveled lots of miles to be with us.

Amy, Kate, and Hannah also were able to join us. Their timing of Hannah's first trip to Austin worked out perfectly. Thank you Amy for taking pictures for me!
It was a sweet day that we will never forget.
