Sam's Blessing Day

   

Not the best pictures of the little man -- We sure love him though.  He was 2 months when we blessed him and Taylor joked Sam was going to go up to the microphone and share his testimony after the blessing -- he is a big 2 month old for sure!  But we were glad to wait so we could have so many friends and family come. 
   Our growing family..

I uploaded all these pictures backwards, and my new MAC is really not friendly when it comes to blogging -- so they are all staying in the wrong order -- if anyone has any techno suggestions, let 'em rip... :)
  This was the picture in the car after we took the last of our guests home (Grammie and Grandpa Nadauld) They were all pretty tired out from the fun weekend..  See the pictures below to visualize the excitement.  
   My mom and Heather came AGAIN for the blessing.  It was so nice to have them here again.  They helped once again with projects and especially with packing since we moved 2 weeks after the blessing.

  
Pictures of the after party.  It was hoppin'.  :)  

  Grammie and Grandpa Nadauld made it for the blessing and got to meet little Sam for the first time.  I think he stole their hearts too. It was a full house, but we were so grateful everyone made the effort to come.

Mom and sister getting ready for the after party.  It was a lot of cooking on their part -- but it turned out fun. I love having Heather around, cuz she loves to hold babies.  Sam definitely loves his aunt and grandma too!

  
I was so glad my brother was able to make it to the blessing.  He flew in on Saturday night and left on Sunday afternoon.  It was so great to have the Heaton's represented in the blessing circle.  It's times like these that I miss my dad -- but am so grateful to have such a wonderful family.  The kids LOVED uncle Lonny.  He did magic tricks and played dunk ball with them.  What more could kids want!!

Ok, here's the techy side of blogger uploading pictures, as I know it...

The top picture in the group of 5 will be the picture that will show up at the furthest bottom of the post. So if you have a group of 12 pictures, per say...

Upload the last 5 you want at the bottom of the post, starting with the last picture (at the very most bottom), you'll upload it as the first on the blogger upload screen.

Then in the next 5, work from the bottom up. Until you reach the point of just uploading the last two.

It's not a Mac problem (I don't think, at least), it's a blogger problem. Why you can't upload more than 5 at a time, and why it's so backwards (to me), I don't know!

Anyway, thanks for the update, we were all on pins and needles!
