What a special weekend we just had. Max was blessed on Friday night in our home surrounded by our friends and family.
Here he is with Tom.... kind of a look alike moment huh?
My dad said some words right before the blessing.... wonderful explanation of the significance & importance of a name & blessing. Thanks Dad.
Since he's a little older than the usual "newborn" age of doing a blessing, we decided to use the BUMBO seat. Here's Nancy Jo getting him ready.... he's not quite sure what's going on.
"Hey! Why are all of these people around me and NO ONE is holding me? Nancy Jo! Pick me back up!"
So, for obvious reasons, there isn't a picture of the actual blessing.... but here's a picture of the "great SAVE!". (Yes, we had a mini crisis during the actual blessing.)
But within seconds, all was good with the world.
"Nancy Jo, Why did you abandon me like that?"
Then, like all good "church goers", we had refreshments.
And socializing....
It was a great evening....
