Blessing Day

This last Sunday, the 3rd, was Zach's baby blessing. After watching so many blessings while growing up in the Church it was unreal to be the mom watching the circle of Priesthood holders gather around her husband and baby. Family from all sides (we have 4 now) traveled to come. Thank you for supporting us at this special time in our lives! It's wonderful to see that Zach has so many people that are there for him.

I love watching Derrick exercise his Priesthood to bless others, especially his little family. Zach is a very special little boy and it was wonderful to get a glimpse at the type of person he can become. Heavenly Father has a plan for Zach and I hope that Derrick and I can do our part to help him reach his potential.

After the blessing we had an amazing potluck luncheon in the joint backyard of Derrick's grandparents and aunt and uncle. The food was great and it was a lot of fun to visit with family; a lot of whom we don't see very often. We were too busy visiting to take many pictures but we did take some 4 generation pictures after eating:
