June 6 was a beautiful day for a blessing, and we were thankful for everyone who was able to come, including Zen's parents, Zen's sister Mickie and her family, my Mom, Sue and her kids.
Zen gave a beautiful blessing, so articulate and special. It was a wonderful last-baby-blessing to cap our family with. I wish I could post it here, but it's too public. I really want to round up all my kids' blessings and get them in a binder sometime. It's amazing that even though most of the same things generally get said in a baby blessing, it can still feel special and unique.
Wow, here we are, all together!! Seven of us, hard to imagine. Zen and I both come from a family with four children. Sam broke the pattern, but that's a good thing. Zen suggested once that Sam kind of might be an "extra" spirit, but I basically told him to bite his tongue. Our Sammy is most welcome in our family.
Zen's parents and us. Sam is likely the last grandchild. Next come great-grandchildren.
A wonderful three-generation photo. I'm so glad Mom and Sue could be there.
My Mom was assigned the job of picking out Sam's blessing outfit. She did a wonderful job! It has a beautiful, crocheted look to it. I loved it!
Sue's pics had some beautiful compositions, but Sam was just a scowler. Doesn't he know yet how to cooperate with the paparazzi?
Hmmm... Mommy kisses remind me I'm hungry.
Sam, you are not allowed to outgrow Mommy kisses, yet.

That last picture is my favorite. Sam's slightly less scowly and your eyes look gorgeous!
Mom has done such a great job with blessing outfits for our kiddos over the years. Yay, Grammie!
I wish we could have been there. Sam's outfit is darling and is almost exactly identical to Bennett's blessing outfit. His grandma picked it out for him as well.
