Josiah has been in our family for 2 months, and this morning, we had the wonderful privilege of dedicating Josiah to the Lord, in front of our friends and church family. We realize this does not guarantee Josiah's salvation, but we wanted to make a public proclamation that we resolve to bring our child up in the way of the Lord. What a powerful moment to feel our child being prayed over by so many people. Thanks to the Hellings for taking these pics.
Up front, singing "How Great Thou Art". Josiah looks like he's right on key, there, but he was probably just drooling...haha!
Handing Josiah over to Leda Rupert (Associate Children's Pastor) as a symbol of our handing him over to the Lord. During this time, Josiah kept reaching out to his Ba Ba. He is clearly attached to Paxton.
Josiah found Ba Ba's nose to be a great distraction during the time of praying.

Oh! Please give this poor little girl some food for her belly. I haven't eaten for over 30 minutes!
Look! I found a generous benefactor for my ever hungry belly!
Oh! It's my BaBa who gives me food. Tee Hee Hee.
Extra! Extra! Little girl attacks stone tigger er tiger in the woods over weekend!
Dad! The sand box in our back yard is just so big and fun! Why all those tools?
1995, Beloved college friends. We knew Josh (LEFT), all through our years at Washington U in St. Louis. He was a two year old toddler. Later, Caleb (Middle) and Selah (Right) joined the Chappeaus. Gerry and Sharie were our "parents", while they shared with us the love and vision of our Lord Jesus.
