On April 15, 2012 we dedicated Glen at Lindale Mennonite Church. Child Dedication is a time of public and personal commitment where parents promise to raise their children with godly principles, so that one day when they are ready and understand, they will choose to accept Christ.
It was a very nice ceremony, and it was a great way to start off our time here at Lindale (since this will be the church that we attend once we get settled into our lives in Harrisonburg.
A friend of the family agreed to take pictures of the event for us. I love all of the pictures, but the following one is very special to me.
It is a very special photo because I have a very similar one of Grace and I on her dedication day.
Glen slept through the whole thing.
The family that was able to attend were my mom, Amy and Mike and their two boys, Carol and Shannon (who had to leave before this picture was taken) and of course Matt, Grace, Glen, and I. Many of other family members were in our thoughts including all of the Daniels side. We are sad that the distance between us does not allow for attendance of celebrations such as this, but we are glad that technology such as blogs will allow you to see pictures and still be a part of these joyous occasions.

I love the picture at the top of the blog. It looks for all the world like Grace taking a last look around at *her* backyard that she loved so. Are you going to hang another swing in your new place?
