Emma's Blessing



Last Sunday Matt was able to bless Emma and he did such a great job. We were able to have both of our families attend since we all live in the Ogden area, and it was so nice. We were only minus Luke and Lisa, and my other brother Jed since he works in Wyoming. One guy in our ward later told me that his two boys were amazed at how big all the boys in our families were and that we could have a whole basketball team out of them. Which is true since there were 9 men, and I think they range from about 6'3" to 6'7". It was great having family over for a lunch after and we ate DELICIOUS sweet pork salad/burritos that taste just like Costa Vida.



I love your dimples Matt!



For quite a while Emma was just staring at Matt, it was darling. I love when babies become more alert and pay more attention to you.







We have a picture of Adam like this on Matt's shoulder after his blessing. She was so tired since she only had one small cat-nap, she slept very good that night!

I'm glad that it was such a special day for you guys. Your pictures are great. You look simply glowing Jess. Enjoy the pork burritos...I'm sure you have leftovers. We served the same thing for Elle's blessing, and ended up eating it for like a month straight :)

She is just so adorable! And it's true Stringham boys are biggins but so are Jenkins so you've got some nice sturdy genes going on!
