In line with our nontraditional church, came a nontraditional baby dedication for our sweet Elsie. On Saturday, with our family, my two best friends, our mentor couple and family, and a portion of our small group we promised to lead Elsie in the direction of her Savior! This is a small, intimate time with those we want holding us accountable (and helping us too!) to instill the values and habits that will lead her to her own relationship with Christ! We were limited to a small number of attenders and know that there will be others helping, praying and supporting us as we walk the road of parenthood. We know that a strong marriage is the single most important thing in creating a loving, stable environment for our baby girl. Everything else comes out of the bond we have as husband and wife. We hope to instill honesty, diligence, a servant's heart, courage, faithfulness and generosity into Elsie and to create habits in our home that include eating together, praying together and serving together! Here are a few pictures from our special day!

Hey Kelly! Great pics...didn't Buckhead do a fantastic job? I thought it was one of the most intimate and meaningful baby dedications I'd ever been to when we dedicated Karcyn:)
