Jack's Blessing

On Sunday, the 19th, we blessed little Jack at my parent's house. I can't believe he's already 6 weeks old! First a blessing...then he'll be getting married and leaving his mama...nooooooooooo! It was such a nice day (minus a nasty spill by our niece and nephew... poor things! luckily, they're ok!) and my parent's house and yard looked beautiful as always. It was incredibly HOT seeing as we had it at 5:00 and outside (which explains why I look like I just jumped out of a crock pot in every picture). Brett did such an amazing job and said ALL the things I could ever hope for my little buddy. Jack was such a good boy all day and we were so lucky to have so much family there to support us and Jack.

Thank you to everyone who made it... it made it all the more special of an occasion to have you all there!

Thank you mom and dad for all of your help and for letting us use your amazing house!

Here are some pics from the big day... proof of all the love this little boy already has surrounding him! (sorry so many picts..had to get everyone in!)

A shout out to my sister Kate for her excellent job as the photographer...she took her responsibility very serious. Sorry to anyone we missed... it was a bit chaotic!

Brett looking at a freshly blessed Jack. Ahhhh...they did it! Brett gave a stellar blessing & Jack made it through it without crying! You can see Jack's awesome horseshoe hair perfectly in this picture!

Grandma Jackie looked way too fab not to post this picture.

Randy, Annie & the Wankier rats

Jack was utterly exhausted from the day. I set him in his crib, not quite asleep, and found him minutes later sucking his thumb to sleep. His blessing turned him into a genius!
