Well, the family visit was AWESOME. We loved having everyone here and having everyone meet Blake. Rob's white coat ceremony was fun and we are happy he is officially a dentist in training now. :) He continues to do well with school and studying and is just enjoying being in dental school. He has wanted this for so long and now the time is finally here!
Blake's baby blessing day was beautiful. He sure looked handsome in Uncle Darin's old baby blessing outfit. Right before Sacrament meeting started I took him out to feed him and he only had one whimper during the blessing, but Rob was quick to put his pacifier in his mouth and he was quiet. The blessing was beautiful. It talked about facing challenges with courage and bravery, being sensitive to promptings of the spirit, being receptive to inspiration, love, to the gospel, and to the Holy Ghost, and learning from the actions of others. The blessing also talked about being pure/whole before God, having a pure and clean heart, and having the power to do that which is right.
On Sunday/Monday we had to say goodbye to Momma and Dad and Grandma Lindeman but it was so nice having them here. I have to thank Momma Lindeman for some of the pictures of Blake. She got some great one's with her camera!
The rest of the visit was full of fun and being together. We went to a couple of parks and had a picnic, fed ducks, and a few of the kids played on a splash pad. Rob also got majorly spoiled and got two frizbees, a football and a volleyball from my parents!... all things we used a lot of during the trip. Oh yes...and for family home evening my parents introduced us to the Cheesecake Factor. I have been craving the caramel apple streusel cheesecake ever since :/...
Well we love everyone! Here are some pictures:
