Owen's Blessing


We blessed Owen on July 10, 2011. He was only three weeks old, but because my sister Natalie was coming in town from Australia, we decided that it would be a good time so all of my family could be together. We had such a fun weekend - it was the first time we had ALL been together in over 3 and a half years!

Owen did so well during the blessing. He was awake and alert, so I was worried he would start fussing, but he was a good boy and waited until about 5 minutes after to start fussing :) Jordan gave a beautiful blessing to our sweet boy. He fell asleep right after Sacrament meeting and then slept for HOURS... even through being passed from person to person a million times. Thank you to all who made an effort to make it to his special day!

Sweet boy in his beautiful blessing outfit that my mom made/smocked. I LOVE it!
