What a weekend...

Sorry for the reverse chronological order! We blessed Beth on Sunday and everything went great! I was so stressed out about it but thankfully my mom and dad helped with the party after, Ben did a great job with the blessing and Amy provided the beautiful dress! Whew- what would I do without family! Thanks to all the family that came to it too- It was such a neat day for us! Beth knew something was different- she was so happy and smiley all morning! I had to post all three of these because she looked at the camera but she also looked up at dad and up at mom and I think it's sooo cute that she likes us so much! :) (being a mom is the best!)








My Grandma passed away and the funeral was Saturday. It was her time to go and I'm glad that she is with grandpa and out of her misery but it is sad that such a good life is gone from this earth. I appreciated that in her funeral there was so much focus on all the service she rendered in her life so I could remember her like that. She was constantly serving others. The timing was interesting since I have been trying to adjust to being a mom which is so much selfless service. I am inspired by my grandma to always serve those around me- especially my family. It was so neat to see all the family again. What a beautiful thing family is!






On Thursday Beth had to get her shots- she was so cute and happy before the nurse came in I had to take some pictures! It's sad when we have to do things that make our kids sad. She had to drink the rotovirus vaccine and it made her throw up so bad it was coming out of her nose and mouth. ahhh. my heart broke in two. She was not happy about the whole ordeal.



A tired baby and a tired daddy after all is said and done. Ben is getting lots more gray hairs by the way... we are getting older... crazy!

you are such a beautiful little family! It was nice to see so many of your family members with us at church yesterday. That was a very nice blessing, and I was touched by the huge circle of PH holders around her. What a great start for little Beth.

I had no idea you guys had a baby! Congratulations! We blessed our little girl in March, and I agree that they know something is different. SHe was happy all day, didn't make a peep through the whole blessing, and was just the sweetest little thing all day. It was really special and humbling that day.
