blessing.




we blessed our baine on sunday, march 29th in our ward in san francisco. he was a good boy for his blessing, no screaming or blow-outs in his blessing outfit. emerson blessed him and grandpa thomson, uncle nate, uncle scott, uncle marc and ben counihan stood in the circle.
we had lunch back at our place and emerson, scott, gary and brant took the munchkins on a nature walk on the new beach trail by our house while we made lunch. there is something a little too crazy about that many kids in our 950 square foot place.
uncle nate and aunt meghan get the award for longest distance traveled. not only did they come from l.a., they were informed of the blessing friday night and drove out saturday afternoon and back again on sunday.
