Jack's blessing weekend

So much joy. I realize that isn't exactly a complete sentence, but verbs seem to water down how we feel about this Jack boy. Really, I can't put into words how great his blessing weekend was. We had family come in from northern and southern California just for the occasion. Everyone's trip in was a pretty quick turnaround, but we loved having you there with us. We really missed the rest of our family scattered across the country, but we know you were there in spirit anyway and we love you.

John gave Jack a beautiful blessing. I am increasingly more grateful for the man I chose to marry. He is such a good father and has done so much during the first part of Jack's life. Jack was an angel baby for the blessing and we are so glad that he loved his little hat! We certainly were glad that he kept his "boy noises" to himself while John, Grandpa Boothe, Tou Ta (Grandpa Luangrath), Ty Malay, Greg, Ron, Chris, and Jeff were in the circle. Thanks again to everyone who was there.

We came back and had a quick lunch so the Boothe group from Cali could make their way south. Meh & Poh stayed until Monday afternoon. We miss everyone so much especially those who are so far away. Thank goodness for skype! For all of you, here are our favorite photos of the day...
