A Blessed Weekend

On the weekend of August 20th we celebrated Carter and his baby blessing in church that Sunday.  It felt great to have family and friends come over to my parents house that Saturday for a swim party and a BBQ.  It was a really good turnout and all the kids seemed to enjoy themselves splashing in the water while the adults all visited and relaxed.  Carter was passed around to every g-ma, aunt, or honorary aunt that would hold him.  But his little buddy Aaron (Wendi's sweet babe) was passed around and loved on too so no one would feel neglected!  We had a delicious taco buffet with grilled selections provided by none other than KB and topped off with a sweet ice cream sundae buffet!

Sunday was Carter's blessing.  He wore an adorable off-white blessing romper.  Byron gave the blessing and said so many wonderful things of what Carter would become.  What stood out in my mind was when Byron asked that Carter would always look for the positive and be a peace to those around him.  Wyatt and I were able to participate on Sunday by joining the choir to sing "Teach Me to Walk in the Light."  Our great afternoon was concluded with a family picture of both sides of the family, which I don't think we've had done since our wedding.  It was a lovely, simple weekend and it was all devoted to Carter!
