Blessing Day

On June 2nd, we got to celebrate our favorite little guy by blessing him at church.  Ben gave Maxwell a beautiful blessing offering him strength and direction that brought such a sweet spirit and touched our hearts.  I certainly know this little guy was sent here straight from Heaven for us and I pray we can raise him just as our Heavenly Father would have us do.  We were lucky to be joined by lots of family and friends that day to support and love our little guy.  Max's Grandma and Great Grandma and Grandpa came all the way from Utah to be there with him.  What a special day!







When I told Grandma and Grandpa I was pregnant one of the first things Grandma said was that they would be sure to be there for the blessing.  They drove their RV from Utah to Washington to meet Mr. Max and give him lots of love.  My grandparents are so special to me, I am sure they will be special to my little guy also.  I am so happy made the trip and that we got to spend a few days with them!

It was a perfect opportunity to take a picture with 4 generations.  I can see the resemblance, and it looks like I am in the running with my mom for tallest!

We sure love our little Maxwell.  We have been so blessed to have him a part of our family and I pray he grows up knowing how loved he is by his family and especially his Father in Heaven.

And for fun because Deneal and I can't get enough of these babies.....
