Cameron's Blessing

We were thrilled to have so many join us this weekend for little Cameron's blessing by his Daddy. It was a perfect weekend and although we wish we could have spent a little more time with everyone, we are grateful for the time we had!
A few highlights:
*Kevin's parents were the first to arrive on Wed. evening with dinner in hand. They are always to thoughtful and generous! Unfortunately, they got here in time to see a sick Carson. He had a slight fever for a couple days, but luckily it didn't progress into anything else!
*My parents arrived after midnight Thursday night and my Dad was up and hard at work by 7am! He was amazing and not only installed light fixtures in each room, but spent two full days (the only two days he had here) in the cold attic drilling, wiring, rewiring and installing those fixtures. It is unbelievable what a difference it makes to have overhead lighting! Thanks again, Dad-- you are the best!
*Friday night Marc and Laura arrived from NY and stayed a while to visit before getting some rest at their hotel.
*Saturday Matt and Kasey came up and brought Wii Sports Resort which ended up creating a competition between all who happened to walk by. I am still the master sushi chopper though.
*Late that evening Heather and Jayson and the "cousins" came up and made Connor's year. He had been waiting for them to come for weeks! We had a nice visit with them before everyone bailed out to get some rest.
*Sunday morning we all met at the church and witnessed Kevin give a beautiful blessing. Thanks to all who participated!
*We all caravanned back to the house where we had a light brunch before everyone went their ways.
It was a perfect weekend and we are so grateful to have amazing families who came to support us! We love you all!

Don't be fooled; we really did have great entertainment!
