Yesterday was definately a special day for us. At church, Rob and I dedicated Lincoln to the Lord. We had many family and friends join us for our special day. For the most part, the kids did well (we did take Avonlea up with us) although right in the middle of the ceremony, Lincoln began crying and he was definately hungry! Luckily, I had taken a pacifier but that wasn't cuttin' it. Avonlea did well too and I think the congregation got a kick out of her yelling from the stage, "Hi Gracey!" (which is her three-year-old cousin).:) The day was wonderful. We had a small get-to-gether at our house afterwards where we ate lunch and let all the kids play together (we have some family here from North Carolina).
As a parent, yesterday was probably one of the most important day (if not THE most important day) of our lives as far as raising our son. I know I felt the same way when Avonlea was dedicated. Yesterday we stated in front of our church family that we would raise our child(ren) in the way of the Lord. I can't wait for the day when my kids come to Rob and I and ask how to receive salvation or ask who Jesus is and as a Mommy, I get the priveledge of telling them all about my Savior!!! My biggest prayer in life is that my children receive Christ and live a life for Him.
On another note, the four Bates' members of this house are definately SICK. :(
It started with Avonlea a few weeks ago. She has sniffles and then Lincoln got sick. Now Rob and I have it and it stinks! I took the kiddos to the pediatrician's this morning and got them perscriptions and then called my OB for a perscription as well. Now I'm just waiting on Rob to visit the doctor and get something for him. We'll all be on antibiotics and hopefully, with us all be "drugged" at the same time, we'll fight this nasty virus or whatever it may be.
