Brendan did a wonderful job giving Ben his name and blessing. It was beautiful and the spirit was so strong. It was fun to have our families come all the way to Eagle Mountain and share this day with us. All of our grandparents were able to make it. It always makes it extra special to have them. Thanks to everyone for helping with lunch after. How nice it is to have a large family to help out. We sure missed Dan and Staci, Joe and Tiff and Brad, but we still love you. My boys looked so handsome. Jack was very proud of his first suit. (notice his missionary name tag) He loved to stand on the counter and just look at himself. He thought that since he had a suit he could help with the blessing. He was a little heart broken, but he got over it. (Sorry Mary Lynn for some reason I don't have a picture of you and Gene. Please send me one!)
I can't believe it has been two months. Little Ben has brought such an amazing spirit to our home. I had forgotten how sweet it is to hold such a tiny baby and love him so much. I know now how fast he will change so I better hold him close before he grows before my eyes.
