Sunday we dedicated our sweet baby boy to our blessed Lord. The ceremony was short and sweet but no less a reminder of the awesome responsibility God has entrusted us with. A good friend once said something about children that I've never forgotten and has altered by view of parenting ever since. Her theory is that God doesn't "give" us children. They are His all along and He has charged us with the duty to raise them according to His word. Every parent would agree that it's not always the most fun job but when you put it in an eternal perspective, there is certainly no higher calling than that of being a parent.
After church, we continued Sebastian's special day with a spaghetti lunch. If hind sight is 20/20, this may not have been the wisest dish to serve. Considering the guest of honor, wearing the most adorable dupioni sailor outfit, was passed around from person to person. In all the passing, his precious outfit was littered with tiny spaghetti sauce drops!!!! It is at the cleaners now and I'm not optimistic they will come out.
