August received a name and a blessing in church today.

Rick did a beautiful job and August was so peaceful the entire day. (Except during a few pictures. It was windy and a little brisk) A first for that little boy. Prayers were answered!

This is my first (and maybe last) crochet project: a blessing blanket for August.

I started it before he was born and my dear friend, Ann, helped me finish the border just a few days ago.  I am so happy with the outcome.I absolutely love this picture of the two men in my life whom I adore most: We had a simple lunch: Soup, salad and rolls.

We are grateful for supportive friends who made the drive to attend this special occasion for our family.

And I am grateful to my mother who flew in to represent all family that couldn’t be here.

It was a perfect day.

We love you, August!
