Blessing











We had Eleanor's baby blessing on December 7th. Janet and her three boys and Aaron's parents came to the blessing. It was sure nice to have them there. Janet and John picked out Eleanor's dress for me. Too cute.
The blessing itself was kind of funny. Aaron was up blessing the sacrament, so when they said they were going to bless Eleanor, Aaron just went over and stood waiting for the other men to come up. I was sitting in the back row with the family and I said to myself "Aaron, you need the baby." Aaron's mom replied "He'll figure it out." About 10 seconds later Aaron looked up at me, kind of blushed and started walking to the back to get Eleanor. It was cute and he did a great job on the blessing. Some of the ladies in the ward commented later on how cute it was that Aaron forgot the baby.

Haha. LOL! That is very cute! You do need a baby for that part. Maybe he thought someone else would just bring her up to him. ;) Cute pictures too.

It will be a fun memory that Aaron "forgot" the baby. Glad to hear things went well and also glad that Kirk and Karen were there.

Aaron

I agree that all our lives have become centered around our kids. I wish I had more interesting things going on with myself. Garrett on the other hand does usually have some fun thing going on with him but I don't post it because he should be doing it. :P Sorry that sounds a little bitter doesn't it? Hm oh well. We love you too and miss you very much. I know Garrett and I both would love to come up there and visit. When the weather gets a little better I think we will. Well sorry about the novel comment. Much love.

Oh my! What kind of friend am I? I have not checked out your blog in a very long time! Congrats on such a beautiful little baby! She looks so much like Penny did. How are your doing? Too cute on Aaron forgetting the baby. I can picture him blushing and giggling as he is walking back to get the baby. How fun! So what callings do you have now? I hope not YW's! :0)
Take care!!!!

and what kind of a sister am I!! I haven't blogged for over a month. Sorry. I still love you though and pictures of you and your kids are dominating my picture board right now cause we don't really have new ones from anyone else. You look so incredibly great in your after baby picture. I am impressed to say the least. Thanks for the pics and the story. Love you guys and miss you too. Maybe we'll take a week and come visit you guys when we get our income tax return.

It would be great to have you guys come visit. We are planning to go to Seattle mid May for a CE Conference. Other than that we are wide open.
