Snuggling in and reading a good book are the best ways to spend an evening!
Chrisopther's baby blessing. In our church when babies are born we have a naming and blessing ceremony for them... usually held at church. Aubrey was able to arrange to have it at her house with just the family and a member of the bishopric. We did the same thing with Owen's since we had his blessing in Utah with family while we were living in Massachusetts. It makes for a lovely and peaceful ceremony. Little Christopher Erlank Slabbert looked so handsome in his little white suit too! My mom and I were able to pick it up for him when we were out shopping the day before. We so appreciate them arranging to have the blessing while we were in town... it was an honor for Brad to be able to join in the blessing circle for his nephew. It certainly helps us to feel loved and connected when we can be involved in the special events, even though we can't be there for the day to day stuff... we love you guys!
After the blessing we had a little bbq in the park area at Aubrey's house. Eli had a ton of fun spraying down the fence, cars, and ants with a spray bottle he found. He and Grandpa K. watched bees, and ants and Grandpa taught him all about ant colonies.
Even little Grable (my Chihuahua from high school who is now 17 years old) made the trip, though she had to stay pretty close to my mom!
