Ked's Blessing Day, Oct. 25, 2009

Kedrik was given a beautiful blessing by his father. We were so glad Sam's parents could make the trip from Iowa and that Summer, Clint and kids live nearby to be with us as well.

I guess I was the only one that liked looking into the sun.

At dinner afterward, the kiddos sat on the makeshift table and "chairs," sized just for them!

Ked loves his grandma! Especially after all the hours she spent holding and burping and rocking him. It was great having Jim and Shari stay with us for a few days. We enjoyed their company, and they were a great help. They even let Sam and I go on our first little date since Ked's birth. I wish I'd gotten a picture of tiny Ked being burped on his grandpa's broad shoulder (and maybe the spit up that covered Jim's shirt not long after).


We were also glad to have Sam's great Uncle Dick, Aunt Elaine, and cousin Penny there for the blessing. They had us all over for dinner a couple of nights before, also with their son Jim and wife Peggy there as well. We've enjoyed getting to know more relatives now that we live close to them.
