Jared's Baby Blessing


     We had Jared blessed on August 1st.  It was a really special day for our family.  Aaron gave Jared a really special blessing and I really felt the spirit during the ordinance.  We were all there to celebrate a new life coming into this world, into our family.  We are so grateful to be blessed with another special little boy in our home.  There is definitely a special spirit here with a new baby.

Proud parents!
What a great big sister Erika is!
      He is such a good little baby, too- a delight.  At this point he was already sleeping through the night (10 weeks- thank you says mommy!!) and a great little eater.  The next day, Aug 2nd he had his second Dr apt and weighed 13 lbs, 1 oz, 70% for weight and 55% for height- so he is growing well, too.

Heidi loves her baby.
  It has been fun to watch our children really enjoy this baby, wanting to hold and admire him often.  They sure love their new brother!!  Heidi has done exceptionally well with the adjustment- much better than I had anticipated.   

Kyle is so excited to have a brother!



Nathan and Jordan hold Jared.  Jeremy and Amanda were also there.  


Grandma and Grandpa Parkinson- their 8th grandchild!





  


After being passed around all day,
Jared is exhausted and falls asleep in Oma's arms. 
     We are so thankful for all of our wonderful family members who made the sacrifice to be there on this special day.  What a blessing our little boy has so many people who love him!
