all kidding aside…
it was really important to us, to stand before our families and church community
and dedicate the girls to our Heavenly Father.
I wasn’t raised a Christian.
So teaching my children about God is something I’m learning as I go.
I don’t know all the words to every praise song.
I still learn new things when i read Finley’s children’s bible.
but even so, my daughter is already loving God.
She initiates praying.
She loves to read her bible.
and she asks questions that absolutely amaze me.
We’re not promising to be perfect parents {far from it!!}
or know the answer to every question.
But we are promising to do our best
to raise our children to love Jesus,
and to follow His teachings.
thankfully we aren’t asked to do it alone.
we have the most amazing families,
the best church community,
and the most awesome kids ministry {shout out katey!}
Finley has been counting down the days until her third birthday,
because then she gets to go to the big kid room at church
SUNDAY SCHOOL!!
I remember picking her up from the nursery as a baby.
They told us, “that girl is going to be a CEO or something.
She really knows what she wants and goes for it!”
the first time we picked up adalaide, they gushed on and on
about what a “sweet spirit” she has and how laid back she was.
it makes me laugh, because they have our kids figured out pretty well.
i know this is a photo overload, but i loved all of these.
none of my pictures from the service turned out.
thankfully our good friend photographed the event,
so lets hope he got something good, tantrum and all 
those pic are absolutely beautiful. you and brian have done such an amazing job with your children. finley sings her praise songs so beautifully and is so thoughtful with her prayers. how amazing is it that the people in the church nursery figured your girls out so well and so quickly, they are spot on!! it was a beautiful day and you captured the little angels beautifully!
"i dont know all the words to every praise song"…you dont know all the words to ANY song! p.s. your girls are amazingly cute.
was that mean? it was supposed to be funny. hope i didnt hurt your feelings!
oh hillary. not mean at all. in fact i thought of you, and KNEW you'd be thinking that as i typed it! ps. i still don't know if it's "boots with fur" or "boots with the spurs".
I love your heart for your family. Your girls are beautiful. As always, I love seeing your pictures. You are SUCH a good photographer.
