the good o' blog…

This past Sunday, we had a baby dedication for Anderson (who is supposed to be sleeping right now, but is just talking to himself in his crib).  It was an amazing party.  We opted to not do the standard protestant tradition of having the church pray for him during the church service.  Rather we wanted to gather a group of people who were committed to holding us accountable as well as praying for him on a daily basis to come together and celebrate what God has given us.

It was a humbling time for Alisha and myself as we talked about our desire for a child and how we want to exemplify Christ to him.  The highlight of the gig was when people gathered around us to pray… it was amazing.  I was so emotionally worn out from it, I’m still not sure that I have completely recovered.

I made a video (that a number of people asked me to post) comprising of 1,321 pictures of Anderson’s short life.  I had to trim it down from about 5,000 photos and wasn’t sure I would be able to get it under 2K.  But in the interest of not making people absolutely sick over a five minute video, I worked it out (it is still pretty fast, hope you don’t puke).  Anyways, here it is.  And thanks to everyone for being so supportive of our family!!!!  You all are so gifted and have given so much to us, it’s unbelievable.
