Kenny--My parents will be in town next Sunday the 14th. Can we do Zoodle's dedication that day?
Thanks!
Beth
Yes, that would be great!!! If you want me to do anything specific let me know.
Kenny
Hmm, anything specific. I was thinking we could start doing some sort of cool war paint like Native Americans do for their ceremonies? What do you think?
Beth
I was thinking more along the lines of the Vulcan mind meld. :) I don't really even know what that means. :/
Kenny
Despite our creative ideas, we settled on the normal dedication ceremony.
For the important occasion, Zoodle dressed up in his best shirt, tie, and pocket square.
The brief dedication was great. Pastor Kenny talked about what it means to raise a child in God's ways, and he prayed for us to have wisdom as Zoodle's parents. (We need that wisdom!)

Dedicating Zoodle was a memorable, important occasion. (But I still think war paint and a Vulcan mind meld would have been fun!)

that's so sweet and casual, a lot less stressful than our RC ceremonies, MIL is already looking at patterns for the Baptism gown and the baby isn't even born yet! LOL
I adore his shirt! And that last pic of all of you got me a bit weepy... very tender, sentimental.
Sounds like it was very meaningful, even without the tribal raindance and feathers.
I'm glad all went well. That picture of Zoodle is so precious!!!!
Congratulations on Zoodle's big day! I love his shirt...too cute!
How very sweet. Love Zoodle's tee! You may want to check your first paragraph. I think Zoodle's name may have changed... :)
What a precious gift that you were able to do this while your folks were there. Love, Miss Etna
A precious memory. I'm so glad your parents could be there to be part of it.
So cute! He looks very hansome and dapper in his outfit. It looks like a c.beth orginal!
Looks like a very special occasion and so much depth of feeling evident in your post and photo. Zoodle may not remember his special day but everyone else obviously will.
As for the wisdom - what little you may lack you more than make up for in caring.
Zoodle will look back on these pictures as a young man and know he was prayed for long before his teenage years... how wonderful!
Now that's my kind of dedication! In a few years you could follow it up with a Klingon coming of age ceremony. What do you think?
Have to head to bed but wanted to thank each of you for your comments. :)
(And, Angie, I think a Klingon coming of age ceremony is a GREAT idea. Cool cake possibilities w/that too!)
is it sad that the second i read Vulcan i jumped for joy?
you look great! glad that your folks could be there to see it!!!!!
Tie and pocket square are rockin.' Good stuff.
