Blessing & Stuff

By the way, we blessed Benjamin last Sunday. It was quite a different experience than the other two baby blessings which were big productions. I think we began getting our yard ready for Jonas' blessing before he was even born.

I missed everyone terribly, but it was nice to focus on the blessing and not be fretting about the food for the after party. I was glad that at least John's parents and a couple of friends were able to be there. We weren't all alone. It was touching experience to see John and his dad stand together to give Ben his blessing. John did a fantastic job. The blessing was beautiful.

Sorry Ben, we didn't take a lot of pictures (actually your papa took these, not us). You were starving by the time we got you home and I didn't want you to yak all over the blessing outfit, so we took some pictures quick and then changed your clothes.

And some bonus pictures of the other kids also taken by papa.
