So blessed

This weekend we had the opportunity to bless our sweet little baby boy! It was such a wonderful experience. Matthew was so calm and collected. The spirit was so strong. We really do have a special boy. The Lord has great things in store for him. We had a ton of family that came in from Idaho, Utah and California. Noah is the ninth grandchild on my side of the family, and the first on Matt's side of the family. Noah is blessed enough to have grandparents, great-grandparents, and even a great-great grandmother alive. It was a little crazy, but it was so fun to see our families. Noah was held all weekend long. He is just so lovable and cute!!! I am with him all day and still can't get enough of him.

 

Noah looked so handsome in his little white outfit that Grandma Hurst bought for him. Noah did so great while being blessed despite the fact that his pants were filled with poo! After the blessing we were able to gather with all our family and friends and have a nice lunch to celebrate Noah! Thank you to all that attended and a HUGE thanks so all those that helped with food and set up!

We appreciate and love all those that took the time out of their busy schedules to drive the many miles to share this wonderful and beautiful experience with us. We are grateful for all the help that was given us this last weekend! Thank you all!

Other than the big weekend, Noah has been a little sick, but still sleeping really well at night. He is just a little bit congested. I have been a little sick as well, but both mother and baby are doing better. He is a strong baby and changes before my eyes every day! He is finally growing out of his newborn clothes and actually somewhat fits into his 0-3month outfits! I never thought the day would come. Matt and I are just holding on tightly to these beautiful times that we have with our snuggly baby boy! 

We love you all and appreciate your love and generosity!
