Taylor's Blessing

We blessed Taylor at church this past weekend with every single family member from both sides of our family in attendance. How special it was to have everyone here with us. I was very excited to have my Grandma Bev there too because I finally got my first poem from her! (She writes the most amazing poems of all our family's special days--but she was out of town for my wedding and missed both my other kid's blessings). I cried and cried when I read the beautiful poem she wrote about Taylor's special day. She was able to capture every single thing I remember from the blessing, and I'll treasure it always!

Tige made everybody yummy BBQ hamburgers and hotdogs on Saturday night, and then we had a delicious sandwich spread on Sunday for lunch. We are so grateful that all of our family members were here with us, many of them traveling several hours to get here. We sure are loved!
