Blessing Day!


On Sunday, we blessed Molly! It was an eventful day with lots of family and lots of food. The weather cooperated and it was hot, but not too hot. Molly wore her fancy dress that my friend and visiting teaching partner, Beverly, crocheted for her. Alicia made a slip to go under it. She was kind of grumpy all morning (I think she could tell her parents were a little stressed), but she was fine in Sacrament meeting and didn't scream or anything.
We did the blessing this week, even though it wasn't a fast sunday because my parents and Willie will be in Boston for the 4th of July and we didn't want to wait until August to bless Molly. It worked out just fine. Sacrament meeting was quite memorable with a man having a siezure in the back and the strange youth conference report going on at the front. At least there was entertainment.

We had tons of people there. We are very thankful for such a large and supportive family. After it was all said and done, I counted 74 people in attendance! Wow! I was worried that we wouldn't have enough food, but it worked and I think everyone was well fed.

Visit in Garland


Last week Molly got to meet Aunt Amber and Uncle Colton. They were visiting from North Carolina for Colton's Grandpa's funeral. On Monday, they came to visit us at our house to meet Molly and then we went to Garland on Friday and hung out with the Binggeli's all day.
It was also Molly's first time meeting Annie, Jared, and the kids. They were in town for a Larson reunion and also Molly's blessing. It was nice to see everyone! Morriah thought Molly was pretty cool!
