10 months

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord." Psalm 127:3
I can't believe how big our sweet potato is. He went from baby to boy so quickly! He's at 23 pounds and 31 inches :) We're measuring 97th percentile in height, so the basketball scholarship is still looking good :) This past Sunday, we dedicated Noah to the Lord. Our pastor soberly reminded us of our calling as parents. He encouraged us and prayed for us. We understand it is not the church's responsibility to save our child, but we are so grateful for God's design in it. Already in this early and short season, we have been served so effectively by our pastor (Erik and his wife Jerusha), our caregroup, and many other friends.

Noah,
It was our joy to dedicate you to the Lord. What a delightful gift that God has entrusted in our hands. You bring so many smiles and laughs into our home. God has been so good to us! We pray for you daily, asking God to transform you heart that you might come to know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. With God's help, we will be faithful to teach you what he has taught us. We love you so much, and I can't wait for you to understand that!
