our hopes and dreams for Doak

For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him. So I have also dedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the Lord.
1 Samuel 1:27-28


Today we had the great blessing of dedicating Doak to the Lord at our church. Our wonderful families and some friends (that are really family) came to witness this important event. Our goal in parenting Doak and Addie is that when they leave our house this verse would be true of them:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6



Jack, Keri, Doak, Nat, Addie, Dianna, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Shannon, Uncle Mike, cousin Kristin






amazing friends Cody, Ashley, Rylan, Christi, and Chad
