Sully's Dedication

What a special time this Sunday afternoon in Lloyd was for our family!  Since we first found out about being pregnant and being blessed with having a child we knew that this child was not our own.  Sully is a gift to us - we have been blessed with being Sully's parents and will provide his earthly home, but he is God's child - and He is the ultimate Father.  That being said, we wanted to have a formal time to dedicate Sully to the Lord.  A time that we, along with our family, would be able to pray over his life and as parents make it known of our desire teach Sully about Jesus and raise him in a way that he will know God's unending love and desire to have a relationship with him! 

We were blessed to have a large portion of our family all together at once for Sully's dedication (we were just missing Auntie Becca and Uncle Nathan - the down side of having family so far away)

it was very special for us to have my dad lead our time!

Matt and I wrote a letter to Sully - in it we told him of a life verse that we picked for him

we assigned different aspects of Sully's life (future wife & family, career choice, hobby's etc) to different family members to pray for - we asked everyone to write out their prayers so we can keep them for Sully to be able to read and return to as he grows

and how else do we remember significant moments in life then with a good photo shoot!

Great Papa K - we were so blessed to have Papa share in this day with us!

4 generations of Kaminski men - praying that the great legacy of strong Christian men lives on!

what a special treasure that both Matt and I have grown up in such amazing homes with amazing parents - we realize how rare this is now a days!

this picture makes me smile - can you tell that he is well loved on?!

We do not take our role as Sully's parents lightly - may we be found faithful!

Sul's life verse:

"Be strong and courageous...The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged" 

Deuteronomy 31:7-8

We love you Sullivan Richard Kaminski - thank you Jesus for this amazing gift!
