We dressed Luke in a sweet, bright white blessing outfit for his special day. Daddy blessed him to...(will add when I find the notes Hanim gave me) Luke was calm and slept most of the meeting. Right before it ended he had a big poopy up his back. I got him cleaned up in the mother's room and he exited the building just in his diaper. Luckily Grandma took this picture of the four of us before church. And double lucky Aunt Mel told me that breast milk poo stains can be completely bleached out by the sun, so his sweet outfit was saved - yeah!
We had a brunch afterwards with yogurt berry parfaits and ham-n-cheese croissants. We just had it in our backyard. The weather was beautiful, the cherry trees provided shade, and the family was good company. Thanks to mom for helping us pull it all together. How do we get anything done without her? She came Saturday night to help us prepare and to help get the boys ready for 9am church. Josh has meetings 'til 8:15am, so I was so grateful she was there. We were at least 15 minutes early to church:) Baylor had a blast playing with what seemed like a gazillion cousins - kids everywhere! Lets throw parties more often! Actually, the night before I was cursing, what had I gotten myself into.... trying to feed 40 people.... cutting up fruit and making granola at 10pm... but it was really fun and everyone ate well and had a good time. I try to lead a low stress life and it threw me out of my comfort zone. I naturally worry way too much about presenting food and making sure it tastes good, blah, blah, blah....Josh and my mom mentioned if I didn't relax they were going to dice me up and throw me in the granola. I apologized up and down after it was all over the next day and vowed either to never throw a party again or just try to be more pleasant about it:)
