Blessing Day

Ok - so I've tried to post pictures of the blessing day three times now and it won't let me so I'll have to add them later. On Sunday November 25th was another milestone in little Dane's life. It was his blessing day. All of my immediate family except my brother Dan and niece Jessica were at the blessing. And all of Paul's family came into town from California to be there. In addition to them, we had Paul's good friend Patrick, Grandma & Grandpa Barlow, Agrelius girls (cousins), and Mieka's friends - Nicole, Jennifer, Ann and Liz.

Paul and I feel so fortunate to have such a great support group of friends and family. We both treasure the relationships we have with the ones we love and I think that was reflective in the number of people that came to support us on Dane's special day.

I'll admit I was a nervous new mom. I was a little snappy at Paul (sorry hon), and worried that things wouldn't go just right - whatever that is! I had to wake Dane up from his nap to get him dressed and over to the church. That meant he didn't get to eat all the way before the blessing so I was afraid he'd cry during it but he was a champ. And Paul did a great job on the blessing. I'm so grateful that Paul was able to do that for our son. Shortly after the blessing Dane had a huge blowout and it went all through his outfit. At least it was after rather than before. hahaha.

Today was also a great day because there were four generations of Barlow that were present. Paul's grandpa, his dad, Paul and now Dane. So of course we got pictures. Well - that was about it for the day.

Sounds like the blessing turned out really well, all except for him going through his outfit. Sad we missed it.
