Whew! What a busy last couple of weeks it has been. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with zero pictures to show for it, so you'll just have to take my word on it! I was kind of sad when I realized we hadn't taken a single picture of Colin's first holiday, but I guess stuff like that happens- we were too busy with our 3 kids to take pictures of our 3 kids! We had a nice time though. We had a great time with Adrian's family who came to stay with us. Hailey was the first grand daughter, but was followed closely by 2 others and so it's really fun to have the girls all together. With them all nearing 2, they're finally starting to interact and it's so funny to watch. The first pic is of all the grandkids on Adrian's side of the family. The last pic is a group shot of most of the family there for Colin's blessing day. Funny part is- Colin's not in it- he was napping (as was his cousin Claire...)
The most wonderful part of the last 2 weeks was Colin's blessing day. Adrian blessed him last Sunday, November 30th. Although the circle was small, the spirit was incredible and we are so thankful for the family members who were able to be there. The neatest part was after Adrian sat down with Colin. He was wide awake and just starting flashing the biggest grins an 8 week old baby can flash. All those in the immediate vicinity saw him smile up at his Dad and it was hard to contain the tears. If I could sum up the moment in a word it would be this: Joy. I am so grateful for my family. We have been so blessed and moments like this just remind me of that.
