Dedication

On Sunday, we had child dedications at our church. It went very well. Our family had been videotaped last week and that video was shown in the service (as well as those of three other families). Then we walked onto the stage for the dedication. Pastor Janney prayed over each family, despite Gracelynn's constant movement on stage. Another adoptive family celebrated with their two new daughters, both from Ethiopia. I wish I had a photo to share, but alas... I forgot! Afterwards, we celebrated with Mike's parents at Red Lobster. Grace proved that she was meant to be my daughter by scarfing down all of her shrimp... and a few of mine! She is the only child we have that will eat shrimp. ;-) We came home and watched the Redskins win... so all in all, we had a wonderful time! It's hard to believe we've been home 5.5 months now! WOW! On one hand, it seems like Gracelynn has been with us for years. On the other, it seems like we were just in China.
