Baby Blessing

Here's to catching up!

December 19, 2010 we blessed McKay William Bateman. Daniel's parents and brother were here and my Aunt and Uncle came up for the day for it.


Our first official family picture.


Our family with Grandma, Gramps and Jordan.


Unfortunately this was the best picture of us with my Aunt and Uncle. The kids were sick of sitting and ready to go to nursery!! Especially Kimber!


Me and McKay.


McKay wore the same outfit that Benson wore for his blessing. Somehow it was a little bit better for a spring baby! Anyhow, he looked just as precious as ever!

We wished that we could have shared this with more of our family but we are grateful that we were able to have this much family there to share in this with us. We have great friends here to also helped out with the blessing and helped us celebrate McKay's special day. Thanks so much!

That just made think about our friends. Over the past 2ish years we have watched people move in and out in our ward and from the school. I hadn't thought too much about it but this week some of the friends we are closer with started moving out. It is making school ending more of a reality. We are going to miss the friends we have made here so much! We wish the Wach's the best in their new part of life. Over the next 8 months we are going to be seeing more and more change with friends moving and us moving as well. I feel ready to leave Portland but not so ready to leave our friends. Wait, they could all move Canada right? Just come with us! I know... new place, new friends and we will have to go visit our friends so we will new places to visit! Just pick somewhere awesome because when you visit Edmonton we have West Edmonton Mall to visit!! Anyways, long sidetrack later... enjoy your weekend and stayed tuned for more!

Can't believe you didn't let us know when the blessing was. We did a 13 hour trip to edmonton for brooke's the 6 hours to your place would have been easy.
