Wyatt's Blessing Day










Our babies' blessings days are always so special to me- to all of us.  It is the day they receive their blessing but I always feel the one blessed, so very blessed!  Grandma and Grandpa Payne came to town for the event and Carter and Jen came too.  It felt like a holiday to have family here with us to celebrate his day.

While they were here Grandpa was kind enough to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with the kids.  Rachel loves Loves LOVES the Umpaloompa song.  LOVES IT!  She sings it often and will request Jason to sing it to her.  It makes her happy on long car trips too as it turns out.  One Sunday while nursing Wyatt in the Mother's lounge at church, I heard a familiar little voice call out "Umpaloompa!"  It is funny what the microphone picks up and how voices carry in a somewhat quiet chapel.  I never did hear Jason singing it to her so he must have settled her some other way that day.

We were really glad that we could be there for Wyatt's blessing. We loved seeing the kids and appreciated you and Jason being such good hosts! Pat

Jason has a really good looking hat on. I'm glad to see that it fits him well enough to continue wearing it. Thanks for sharing the blessing pictures.
