Blessings....

This week has been filled with family and friends. We have had a great time getting to meet grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends. My dad, "grandpa roar" arrived in OH on Wednesday, but stayed to see the other grandbaby first. He finally got to meet Nat on Friday. I still haven't decided who Nat looks like, but while they were sitting together, I saw a very similar profile between grandpa and grandson.

A's mother, arrived also on Friday night, they had a little bonding moment as well.

Before Sunday rolled around we had a house full of guests and we loved the chaos. Both of my sisters were here and their children as well as one spouse. We filled the house with baby noises, and cousin Rose loved the cats, and followed them closely.

Sunday, blessing day, was really special, everyone came to church with us, and A was able to perform a beautiful blessing after "officially" naming Nat. This moment has been a long time coming for us, and we were both touched beyond words, A cried a little during the blessing and I loved him for it, this child, and a son has meant the world to him.

In the afternoon we were also able to participate in the blessing of my sister's Felix. What a joyous day together!

The family has left now, except for Grandma Nettleship and we will miss having them around, some days it is really hard to be away from everyone.
