This morning we dedicated the children. We told them that we knew we were just borrowing them from God for a little while and that we wanted to dedicate their lives to him. We also told them that the church family would be dedicating themselves to them, to promise to help us raise them in a God pleasing way. Goob wasn't sure about going up on stage but did really well. Before going up he was even belting out songs during worship " I am free to run, free to dance, free to live for you". Ribbit was a different story. Since we had to sit up front she a lot of space to dance during worship and she did just that. She also cried out for mommy everytime daddy touched her. We wanted to do this a lot sooner but had to wait until the adoption was finalized. We are kinda sad to be dedicating the kids in this church and then leaving so soon afterwards. We picked this church because of the children's ministry but I know we will find another great church where we are moving to.
Here are some pictures from this morning.
So Goob came into our bedroom this morning while I was putting my make up on and announced that he had packed for the move. This is what he had in his bookbag :)....funny little guy.

Bro. Al loving on Ribbit
He was showing her all the people who would be a part of her family now.
She started making the mean face at one point and everyone laughed.
She is over it by now.
Getting kisses from Bro. AL
Praying over Goob, he prayed that he would be a giant for the gospel...we like that.
Asking Ribbit to stop saying " hold you mommy" during Eli's prayer.
