It was a beautiful day for a blessing and a brunch with all of our dear friends and family who could make it. Dave gave Milo a wonderful blessing and then we all enjoyed the patio and the sunshine.

It’s great to have a photographer in the family! My cousin Caroline was on hand to snap a few shots of the family, and the turned out awesome despite the fact that it was a 30 second shoot and she was using my camera! 

This is the photographer herself…(contact info here)

Milo got some great time with his Great’s.

It was so fun to dress Milo in his first WHITES and think about his amazing future: 

Blessing (check) 

Baptism 

Temple Endowment

Marriage 

All events that will bring him real joy.

On a side note, finding the outfit that I wanted him to wear for the blessing was a feat of great proportions! I wanted a normal little boy outfit, not a one piece romper. Turns out little boys are not expected to wear oxford shirts and slacks until at least 6 months…go figure! So, his shirt was a little big, the pants were actually shorts, and I hand made his 4″ tie at about 9 am before everyone arrived! I loved him in it!
