Luke's Blessing Day

Luke's blessing was perfect in every way. He was surrounded by loved ones, given an amazing blessing by his Dad and slept through his first party. Right before we left, he started to get a little fussy and he had us worried, but he pulled through. He was either sleeping or simply calm. It was truly a blessing. His blessing was beautiful. I'm so excited to watch these blessing unfold in the upcoming years. It was so fun to have so many family members and friends share this day with us. We enjoyed a feast afterwards at our home and had a great time chatting it up. Believe it or not, Luke's starting to become a happier baby too, which makes us such happy parents!! I can't believe his special day is coming to a close, but I know we'll have these special memories with us forever. Luke is such a sweet boy and I feel so blessed have him in our family. I'm looking forward to the many adventures that we have ahead of us. Special thanks to everyone who came and supported us. Also, special thanks to those loved ones who are miles away, but took time to let us know that you were thinking of us. We love you all!
