LaNea's Blessing

Having been home a couple of weeks we were more than ready to jump onto a plane again and
head to Texas for the blessing of LaNea. Jill went all out to make sure everyone was comfortable
and had their own rooms, even to her own discomfort. It was a full house with adults everywhere all doting on one little girl, which they are now paying for with one little girl that wants to be held at all times.
Click here for April's blog and pictures of LaNea in her dress.


When we arrived Friday, LaNea was so happy, just couldn't help but take pictures of her.




I was trilled that mom and dad (Great Grandma and Grandpa)
we able to fly out and be there for the blessing. They
also took off to find ancestors that lived close by.

It didn't take long after dinner was cleaned up for Halli to find
some paper, scissors and markers to begin her pluther of cards she made and freely handed out.

You can always count on Grandpa Logan to provide hours of entertainment.
He would hid in the off-set hallway and jump out at Lexie...she knew he was there
and loved running past him.
Which turned in to running down the hallway and jumping into Grandpa Logan's arms.
Then Lexie found it funny to tease Grandpa and run the other way just when
he thought she would jump into his arms.
Big hugs and more chasing.
That in turn, turned into playing Mother May I with Halli, sorry I didn't get her in the pictures
She was so concerned with being fair, Peyton moved up this far in the hallway,
so Halli had Grandpa Logan take 5 big steps which brought him right up with her.
and Lexie did summer saults, well she attempted them.

Who would have imagined all the fun one could have in the hallway?
Yea, a picture of Kevin and he's soo happy. Was ESPN on?
Random samplings of everyday events that took place during the week.
Halli and her school friend in their poodle skirts.
I love how Peyton is looking up at her big sister, she truly adores her.
The girls loved all the attention with so many adults around handing it out in large doses.
Great Grandma and Peyton.
And nothing is better than laying on Grandpa Logan when one doesn't feel well.
It was pure joy to be with everyone and enjoy the company. I am thankful for airplanes, computers and cell phones, but they still can't replace having family close by you.

I agree, nothing can make up for family. Excellent pictures. They captured all the memories I had. And it really wasn't too uncomfortable.
