A Week Ago Today...

We got to bless our little guy. 
Owen was perfect for his blessing and did not make one little noise the entire time. He "sat" through the entire meeting and was held by many of his family.  Oh this boy is a trooper! I am deeply in love with him and his amazing sweetness. 

We had to have blue cupcakes to help celebrate this festive occasion!

Dad, Owen, and Mom:)

Family picture with our entire group. 

Owen and his biggest sister

The weather was a bit chilly, but I was so grateful for the sunshine! 

Happy Boy! A big thank you to Aunt Kerri who took Owen for a mini photo shoot while I was busy getting the lunch ready to be served. I think she got a good 50 shots:)

*prepare for picture overload
Owen is such a happy baby.  He truly was just perfect for his blessing day.

I fell in love with these cute booties at the baby store.  I thought they were perfect for a blessing. Doug thought they might be a bit on the girly side, but said they were fine...so we kept them and Owen wore them:)

Aunt LaRae and Owen, this was the first day my sister LaRae got to see baby Owen. I think she liked him a lot:)

Dad and Owen hanging out.

*I am lacking in Erickson cousin photos! I will have to make up for this at the next family occasion:)

Some of the girl cousins on same side. You can see we are VERY outnumbered on the girl/boy ratio!

Cute Ben said he wanted to hold Owen.  It lasted about 30 seconds and then Ben gave the baby back, and said something to the effect of, I didn't like that! 

Uncle Mike and Aunt Karla were here for the weekend.  They were a huge help to me in preparing the meal and we had so much fun getting to hang out with them! All of my girls love Aunt Karla and Uncle Mike:)


Sleeping Owen being held by dad at end of the day.  It was a very busy day full of excitement. Our little guy was ready for a nap:) Thanks to all who made it such a wonderful day! We are so grateful for the support our families are always willing to give us:)
