Last Sunday was a very special day for our family. Surrounded by family, friends and neighbors, Derek blessed Evan in Sacrament Meeting. The blessing was beautiful. Derek has a way with words and said the most wonderful things about our son. I will never forget the sweet spirit in the room. Evan was a complete angel through it all. There wasn't any crying or complaining all day as he was loved and kissed and passed from one person to the next.
Evan is named after two wonderful men, my dad and my brother. David is my dad's name and also my brother's middle name. I loved that Evan was able to wear Steven's blessing shoes. My mom has kept the shoes we were blessed in and I'm so glad she did. It was very special for me to have Steven as part of the blessing. And even after 27 years they are still super stylin'.
Here are some family photos we took after the blessing. We love both our families very much and are grateful for all they do for us. We are very blessed to have their love and support.
And just in case you were wondering....it wasn't planned for all of us to wear green. Good taste runs in the family.
