This past week was a very exciting one! Graham's grandparents (Brandon's dad and step-mother) purchased a vacation home here in FL. They will use it a few times a year until they retire and then come down for half the year. We are so excited to have family close. We've lived here for years (me:6, Brandon:13!) with no family so we love the idea of being able to drive around the corner and see a familiar face. :)
My mom is in town this week to help with Graham while I put in a long work week and she was able to spend some time with Dennis, Pat and us too. I love how well they get along and that we can share our special family time together.
It just so happened that they were all in town for a very special day. Graham was dedicated at church on Sunday, Sept 12. It was so wonderful to be surrounded by friends and family for the service. Graham behaved like the perfect young man that he is and just stared and stared at the pastor as he prayed for him and for us as his parents. It streamed live online and lots of family that could not attend were able to witness the special event via the web. Our pastor had very sweet and thoughtful prayer for Brandon and I asking the Lord to guide us as parents and help raise Graham to know Him.
Following the service we had a delicious schmorgasboard (thats for you L.F.) over at the Fletcher residence. Lindsey whipped up breakfast casseroles, hash browns and a most scrumptious monkey bread. Graham went for a dip in the pool and we had a very special day fellowshiping with our wonderful friends and family.
