Scott gave a beautiful blessing and I cried. I never cry over sentimental stuff, this was a big deal. Then when I realized I didn't bring anything to record it and have a terrible memory I cried again. And again. Because it was awesome and I couldn't tell you what it said. (Sorry, Penny. Don't worry, angels wrote it down in heaven, so in 100 years we can read it together.)
Here is everyone who came out just for her blessing:
Mom & Gerry
Jane and Penny have a surprising number of grandmas, they love them all. Here are the grandmas Penny has met so far:
My girls have NINE grandmas. Awesome, right?
Our little family:
My favorite person in the whole world:
Penny and her grandpas:
Penny's first photobomb.
Penny was in her pajamas because she had spit up all over her gorgeous dress... typical Penny. She does this a zillion times a day. We have decided it has less to do with acid reflux and more to do with her getting bored of her outfit and wanting something new. We think she's a fashionista.
Jane was happy that no one was monitoring her excessive soda consumption. Also, please know this is Sprecher Root Beer. Not beer.
Penny is introduced to the elixir of life.
(not really, though. don't worry)
Jane doesn't quite understand why we let her wear sunglasses as much as she wants but when she runs off with reading glasses we panic.
Rick wins over all of the grandkids with donuts. Jane was sold.
Jane was showered with gifts. I'm pretty sure she barely noticed a baby was born because her number of toys doubled. This is Jane with her new princess book from Jenna that has launched a full-on obsession with princesses.
Jane has always had an odd fascination with oatmeal. As long as she has been able to pull herself up she has been into the oatmeal. During the blessing weekend she was able to actually get the whole container out of the kitchen without us noticing. She brought it to her favorite hiding spot (In dad's office with his clothes) and dumped out the whole box. Now Jane's dreams have come true and after we put the oats back we labelled it, "Jane's Play Oats -- DO NOT EAT". Now she plays with oats to her hearts content.
We went out to the beach. If my mom asks... it's an ocean ;) [she uses the great lakes to get her ocean fix. We poor Washington girls are out of place in the midwest].
Wisconsin has the best wildflowers. They are everywhere.
We also went to the Public Market, where Jane found her new bff.
That was so good of all the grandmas to coordinate their outfits! Very impressed. :)
