Alexa's Blessing


Here is sweet Alexa on her blessing day.
My and Joe's parents both came down
as well as Joe's brother John and my sister
Eryn and her family. We had a great time and Joe
did a fabulous job. He blessed Alexa with the gift
of faith and to be a lifelong missionary.
It was very special to hear.


She really is this sweet.

Grandma and Grandpa stayed for a few days and
finished the backyard and fixed a few things around
the house. Rook is loving his new basketball hoop, ball
and sandbox. Thank you Grandpa!

We are sooo glad Mom and Dad are home. Don't
they look so fabulous!

Hey what a beauty, Joe has his hands full in about 16 years. Looks like you've had a fun summer, with fam and friends. You've got beautiful kids.

Beautiful Alexa. That is so great that both sets of parents were there for the blessing.
Yeah for your parents being home. They look so great. I love seeing your mom wearing African earrings.
Don't you just want to hop back on a plane and go to Africa again?!? Sometimes I miss it like I miss home! :)
