Becky and I decided to have Emerson dedicated at Church this past Sunday – which was also Mother’s Day.

We have grown quite found of Gateway Church. The pastor is the father of one of Becky’s students and a lot of people we know in the community go there. We have a harder time that others finding a church we both like since I was raised Baptist and Becky Lutheran. We really just wanted a church that we could grow with and raise a family in.

The Christmas pageant last year was kinda the deciding factor. The church was just full of so much caring and heart – and it all felt REAL.

Anyway, Emerson’s godfather (Tyler) and godmother (Lindsey) were able to stand beside us in front of the church as we all pledged to take care of Emerson’s spiritual self. Emerson, of course, had no idea what was going on and insisted on being passed back and forth from Mom to Dad several times.

All in all, we  had a fantastic start to Mother’s Day 2015. It won’t soon be forgotten.
