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.

Benjamin is so cute. Oh my goodness he looks so much like you in the first picture in his blessing outfit. What a cutie, I can't wait to hold and him and kiss those fat little cheeks. Good luck with the move, I will be there in a few weeks to help. I can't wait to see you guys!!!
Congratulations. I'm glad you had a great day, despite the rain. It was so fun to see you last night. I hope all went well with the closing today. I can't wait for your arrival.
