Samuel's Baby Blessing!

On Friday the 13th of June, we blessed Samuel in Phoenix, AZ. We were already together with Ben's family, except for his parents who are on a mission in Alaska, for our Family Reunion and figured that would be the best opportunity. We also figured that Phoenix would be a lot easier to get to than Midland from Orange County, so I asked my family to fly in for the weekend. It worked out perfectly except for the fact that Mary could not make it because she was still in Hawaii, and David's wife Stacey had her brother's high school graduation. We missed them both very much but were very grateful that my parents, Debbie, and David made the special trip for us. This was the first time David & Debbie met Samuel. We went shopping Friday morning, then met everyone at In-N-Out for Lunch, then did some more shopping before we went back to Heidi's house for the blessing. After we took some pictures, we went out to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, on Stan. It was yummy! Then Katelyn, Samuel, and I spent the night with my parents and Debbie at the hotel. Overall it was a great day. Thank you to both of our wonderful families for celebrating with us and making it such a special day. We are very lucky!

He slept through the whole thing, just like his big sister!
