In early July we had a sweet baby blessing for Matthew. Scott's parents had come to visit so we thought it was the perfect time. In addition to both sets of grandparents Melissa's family came from Concord (older sister), Laura flew in from Atlanta (younger sister), and my aunt/uncle and cousin came from Concord. We had a packed house so luckily we moved the party to my parent's backyard. Scott's Stanford friend also came for lunch.
In the name of getting this post done I'm putting up pictures that may be sort of scary...
This is everyone!
Gary, Cindy, Mackenzie, Dave, Kay, Scott & Matthew, me & Jackson, Louise, Bill, Laura, Melissa & Logan, Jake, Hailey, Rushton
The grandparents.
Jackson, Scott, me and Matthew
The Lee family side.
The Bain family side (minus the Hanks family).
Matthew was a total champ for the blessing. It was perfectly timed so he was in between eating and busy taking a nap. He didn't make a peep. Too bad I couldn't say the same for his older brother. Jackson could use some reverent blessings... Scott gave Matthew a wonderful blessing. This life holds a lot of wonderful things in store!
After the blessing we went to my parent's house for a luncheon. We wanted it to be quick and easy so we had burgers with watermelon and chips. It made for a quick transition to actually eating. The luncheon was a lot of fun but eventually Jackson was running around like a crazy toddler and most of the conversation had been had. My parents were kind enough to let us go home without cleaning up. The best kind of party to throw!
We sure love our sweet baby Matthew!
