A Very Special Blessing

We had Luke's blessing on Sunday, September 27th. Luke was so good and slept through all of church. He started to stretch when we picked him up to go to the blessing circle, but did not completely wake and and thankfully did not cry or make a sound. When Rafa tried to hold him up to show the congregation, Luke kept stretching and had his head way back. Oh well. Sometimes it is still so hard to believe that we have a son, but he is such a blessing in our lives.

After church we had all of our friends and family over to visit. Here I am with Shannon and Tyson. It is so fun to see the two cousins grow up together.

Mari, my niece, loves to hold Luke. In this picture he decided to start stretching his arms. I love it when he holds his hands in little fists.

We were so happy to see our good friends, the Cooks, again. Mike Cook baptized Rafa and his family, so it was really special to have him be part of Luke's blessing.

Here is Lauren, one of the Cook kids. She was so excited to give us a gift for Luke; a soft blanket and cute little slippers that look like dogs. Luke loved both of the gifts.

We had to get a picture of the entire lovely family! Thanks so much for coming you guys!

Rafa has been saving water bottles and cans for the past several months with the goal to fill up the entire back of my Dad's truck. Looks like he reached that goal. My Dad loves to recycle back in California.
