Matthew's Blessing Day

Sunday we were finally able to give Matthew a name and a blessing.  We decided to do it after church in one of the extra classrooms in case he was fidgety.  After sacrament Rory ran home to finish the sloppy joes for the luncheon and I went to my cousin TJ's homecoming.  After the homecoming I met our family and friends in the classroom by the bishops office and Rory was no where to be seen.  I had my cell phone so I could take pictures, so I called him but he didn't answer.  Finally after several attempts to get a hold of him Hyrum offered to jump in his truck and run home to get him.  Hyrum was almost to the house when Rory called and said he had fallen asleep and was on his way.  He had worked the night before so he was exhausted.  He finally got to the church and stood in as Kyle made Logan a deacon.  After that I held Matthew on my lap while Rory gave him a name and a blessing.  They both did awesome.  Matthew held so still the whole entire time and Rory gave a heartfelt, wonderful blessing.  We were so blessed to have a huge circle full of worthy priesthood holders to stand in as well. After the blessing we took some pictures and went to Deb and Derk's for a luncheon.  We had sloppy joes, fresh garden vegetables, fresh fruit, yummy salads, and delicious desserts.  The kids all had a great time playing and we adults enjoyed visiting.  It turned out to be a perfect day.
