Luke's Blessing Day

There's something about blessing days- they always turn out to be the best days ever. 
There's a spirit of testimony in the air and I can feel the strength and happiness of our tiny little addition to the family. With each of my kids I've gotten glimpses of their strengths and characteristics on this day. I think of all they will do and achieve. I think of where their journey will take them. I think of all the talents they will develop. I feel so blessed to be their Mommy and witness and help them along. Gosh, I'm grateful to be a Mom.

Luke's blessing outfit. I'm obsessed with it. So soft, yet manly. I adore the bowtie. ;)

There he is--- taking a nap before his big day begins!
I could watch him sleep all day.

Our first family picture as a family of 5! Woohoo! 
Sometimes I look around and go, "Where'd these kids come from?" "Tyler, what's going on here?" 
It's crazy how time flies.

Gorgeous sisters in their fancy Christmas dresses!!!

After church bouncing on the tramp... gotta get those wiggles out!

Getting ready for Mommy's famous red beans and rice dinner! 
It was delicious. 

Pop and Luke

The whole crew who made it to the blessing! 
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING! We felt so grateful to have ya'll here!

I never manage to get all the pictures I want on days like these. I somehow managed to get this one but not one with Luke and both sets of grandparents! BAH! Sorry guys, I'll get my act together one of these days! 
Luke was just about the freak out... he was so tired here! haha! Just a few more pictures little guy...

haha! He was so finished! But we've got to get one with Mom and Dad!

This one cracks me up!

Tyler caught a couple with me and Luke- thanks babe!

One of the overwhelming characteristics about Luke that was felt all day was simply his happy spirit.

He smiled and laughed all through his blessing. So much so that it totally distracted Tyler! haha! 

Joy just pours out of this little guy. 

I so grateful to have him in our family!!!!
