Luke's Blessing Day

Mom, Luke, Dad,Max

We decided to bless Luke on Easter Sunday, just as we had Max ironically. Ryan had meetings starting at 6:00 am lasting until just before church started, so he wouldn't be there to help me get the kids ready for church. His parents were so kind to come down at 7:30 am to help me out so that we could all be at church early. It was a tremendous help. Mom left Idaho at 4 in the morning and Kelsey and Justin left at 6:30 am from Logan to make it for the blessing. We were so touched that our families would get up early and travel just to be there for us and Luke on this special day.

Ryan gave a beautiful blessing that touched everyone. We were so pleased that so many of Luke's uncles and his grandpa were there and able to stand in the circle as well as Mike Van Dyke, our good friend. I was grateful for everyone who helped me organize the lunch afterwards and for all who contributed to the meal.

It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed spending time with our families. After the lunch, we had a little egg hunt in the back yard for the little ones. Max was so excited about all his cousins being at his house that he didn't touch his lunch, so when he hunted all that candy, he sat down and inhaled it practically.

What a beautiful Easter and special blessing day it turned out to be. We are so blessed to have little Luke in our family. We can already sense what a strong spirit he has and we look forward to seeing him grow.
