Happy Blessing Day, Ian!

My sweet Ian was blessed on May 3rd.  Grandma and Grandpa were able to come for the blessing.  They flew in the evening of Elisa's birthday--Gabe and Elisa were so so excited!  We used Gabe's blessing outfit.  I didn't have any shoes that fit Ian's feet and I could only find one sock so he went barefoot :) 
Ian fussed a little bit before the blessing but was quite during.  He got a nice blessing from Erik.  It was fun for the kids to have their Grandparents over, even if it was for just the weekend.  They got spoiled with attention and toys, and it was a nice break for me to not have to hold Ian so much (not that I don't love holding him--but I do like a break every now and then!).  We went to Jimmy Changas Saturday night and that's basically all we had time to do. The kids were happy enough just to see Grandma and Grandpa at all!

I snuck a couple of pictures before the blessing.  Ian wasn't happy but he calm down after being held.

The mother's room in the church actually had pretty good lighting, so I was able to get these cute pictures with my iPod.  They're not that great of quality, but they are probably the best I could get with an iPod camera.  Isn't he the cutest?! I just wish I would have taken a picture of him with us holding him.

Fun with Grandma!
