Lincoln's Blessing Day

This Labor Day weekend Jesse blessed our little boy, Lincoln. Saturday, Ellie was baptized and there was also a baby shower for both Audrey & me. This brought everyone in both Jesse's family and my family to St. George. It was great to have all our family together.

My mom with the youngest 3 babies at the shower:
Max: 9 days, Lincoln: 7 weeks, Vanessa: 4 months

When I saw Amy's baby (Max) and how small he was (just over 7 lbs) - he made Lincoln look huge! Babies grow so fast - but if you see them every day it is a lot harder to notice exactly how fast they actually do grow. And Lincoln was smaller than Max when we brought him home! Crazy.

Jesse did a wonderful job blessing Lincoln in Sacrament meeting. I wish I had remembered to record it because I couldn't hear it all and I want to have it written down for Lincoln. If anyone can remember ANYthing - even just one phrase - please email it to me. That would be much appreciated!!

Thank you to everyone that came to the blessing and shower and especially those of you that had to travel! Jesse and I are lucky to have such an amazing family!
