a name and a blessing...

This January has been a doozy as far as weather goes. We got more snow the 3 days leading up to Charlie's blessing than we got all of last winter. And yet, this beautiful Sunday the snow squalls ceased, the storm clouds parted and the sun shined brightly! It was perfect representation of my heart and soul these last few months.  I was gently reminded what a miraculous gift this sweet, precious little soul is to me and his remarkable potential for goodness in this world. He is here and he is mine and he is a gift.

Chris, surrounded by so many of those family and friends closest to us, took this sweet boy into his arms to officially give him a name and pronounce a blessing upon him. It was beautiful and remarkable and touched my heart deeply. I love this child with every fiber of my being. I loved seeing him surrounded by amazing and worthy men that will serve as his example of what to strive for. If he turns out anything like his daddy and grandpas, he will be one amazing man.












We came back home afterwards and had a light lunch with many family and friends and let Charlie get loved on and squeezed by his many admirers. Most especially his grandmas and grandpas...


 


When it was all said and done and the crowds had left... we were happy and exhausted. 
Charlie took the lead of Daddy and Papa and got right to watching football...



He's learning already!


 Welcome to our family little guy! 
My life is infinitely better with you in it.
