"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Forgive me while I post way too many pictures of the same thing...

Baby S was blessed on Sunday while his Grandpa Mark and Grandma Paula were visiting.  At first, I worried that GQ's summer blessing outfit would be too chilly for Baby S, but it all worked out when Spring came to Iowa.  (HALLELULAH - We did NOT have a bad Winter, but I looooovvvvveeee Spring).


Then, I got these great pictures of Baby S smiling and laughing:




Right before he got grumpy and started screaming.

First official, full-family photo.  We have enough of us now that everybody smiling is not necessary:

I'm glad that they could come out and visit for the blessing. Or maybe it just happened to work out that way. Either way, your family looks huge compared to my little family of 3!
