Our Beautiful baby boy is blessed

Today has been a wonderful day. Benjamin was a perfect angel on his blessing day. Last night we set up all of our tables, and chairs. I was so excited to have our family dinner outside for a change. Our other babies were blessed in fall and spring, and it was just to cold to hold the dinner outside. But of course this morning I woke up to a torrential down pour. I haven't seen rain like that in a very long time. I felt really upset at first. Part of the reason we waited to bless Benjamin was to have beautiful June weather. I realized that it doesn't matter how much we try and plan out our lives perfectly, sometimes we need to fall back on "plan B". The blessing turned out perfect anyways. Benjamin was a little angel during the blessing. Dan's Father said that he was wide awake, and just looking up at all of the men with his big blue eyes. Dan gave him a very thoughtful, beautiful blessing. Benjamin is such a sweet baby, with a special spirit. Kirk and Kate enjoyed sitting by their cousins at church today. They had been talking about the babies blessing for a few days now. When we woke up this morning the first thing Kirk said was "is it Benjamin's party today?"

I'm so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. I thought about how the rain reminded me of our Savior's atonement. I'm so grateful for his cleansing power in my life, I know that because of him I can be with Dan, and our children forever.

Just an Update

Well the past month has flown by in a total blur. I can't believe my baby is already two months old. He is sleeping much better at night now, and he is so adorable. He is the sweetest little thing. I love him so much! Kate also graduated from preschool on Friday. They had an adorable program. I wish my video camera was working. They sang some adorable songs. She looked so cute and did a really great job.
Benjamin almost 2 months old

Daddy's little pal. Dan loves holding this little guy.

Kate's preschool graduation! She has learned so much this year!

The next few weeks are going to be incredibly busy. Dan and I have been working non stop on our home to get it ready to sell. Yes, we are moving. The last six years of being here in Chelsie Park have be great, but we've found a home, and feel really at peace about moving there. It was a hard decision, but when Benjamin was born we realized how quickly we were beginning to out grow our home. It was time to either finish the basement, or move. There's a home right next to Dan's parents house that had been on the market for a whole year. We looked at it last year, but it was a bit to pricey. Now with the real estate market crashing, and with interest rates at an all time low, we felt it was worth looking into again. After a lot of thought and prayer, we put in an offer. We've been so blessed, they excepted our offer. We will close next week, if the inspection goes well. I'm so excited! It really feels like a dream come true. It all happened so fast that I feel like I might wake up after all and find that I'm only dreaming! Keep your fingers crossed that every thing will continue to go smoothly, and that our house will sell quickly. We've only had one call on it in three days. The market is really slow! But we have high hopes that it will happen for us!
