Mary's Blessing Day

Last Sunday (May 3rd) David blessed Mary and gave her a beautiful blessing. We were able to have several family members from both sides come to our ward for Sacrament Meeting, and many of them stayed for the rest of out meetings as well. I've had a few people from our ward mention to me that when we bless a baby attendance at our ward doubles. Not really, but when you have two big families get together like that it sure seems like it! I especially missed having my dad there in the circle with the rest of the men, but hope that he was able to be there in spirit, at least. I'm so grateful to belong to two such wonderful and supportive families!

After our block of meetings we had a luncheon at Celeste's & Jeff's. They are so nice to let us use their home for pretty much every function we "host", and we are so grateful to them for that. It just wouldn't be pretty trying to fit that many people into our condo! I did take my camera with the hopes of getting some pictures of the luncheon crowd, but I forgot to actually take any pictures. Oops! Thanks to everyone who was able to come and share this day with us!

Pretty Mary all gussied up.

Sometimes Josh loves Mary a little too hard.

Josh thought using the timer on the camera was pretty funny. At least it made him smile!
