He was exactly one month old for his blessing.
We were so lucky to have the family that we did here for Griffin's blessing. We had tried to find a time where the most family could come and so this is what we got :) Quinn and Kaitlyn were able to come between semesters at school, Carol (cita) had just been here a week and a half earlier but I found them all great prices on flights so they couldn't pass it up ;) and Barb was so great to at least have Brandon come and stand in the circle and be here. As always, she sent great presents for Kort and Griffin to spoil her nephews :)
We sure did miss my family though. My sister and I seem to time things wrong because with Kort, she had actually gone into labor when my parents came for his blessing so obviously her family couldn't come. For Griffin's, she was too far along with baby #3 to come also and my parents had already had prior obligations that weekend. They are coming the beginning of June to visit though!
Just like the norm, the Oklahoma wind definitely did not help with making us look like supermodels. Not a flattering picture ;)
I can't believe Clay and I are the parents of two boys now! I suppose we really do have to start growing up more and being better parents. Definitely a change in the house.
The baby blessing was just beautiful though. There were two other babies being blessed before Griffin so Clay was helping keeping Kort quiet. Once Clay took Griffin, Kort was all over the place. I really did feel the spirit through the words which were spoken, but it was hard to really listen. Gratefully, there was a lady in the ward that had been taking notes of all the blessings and had come over to me to give me what she had heard. That piece of paper will go in the baby book. :)
Overall, it was a great weekend. We took everyone to Clay's work to check out the wind turbines and really just relaxed most of the time. Clay put his new hammock up and had everyone help plant his topsy turvys full of tomatoes :)
