Sun Dec 17 2006 21:22 A baby is a blessing:
Today was a special day. We have had family come in town for Gunnar's birth and also for his baby blessing. Sherry has been here for over a week helping me out around the house and with Lily, and Rick and Davey came in town a couple days ago as did my Dad for the blessing as well. So there was my dad, Aaron's dad Rick, Aaron's brothers Josh, Jake, and Davey, my brother Joe, Aaron's childhood friends Aaron, Matt, and James, and James' dad, Ben Taylor, and I think that was it. It was a pretty crowded circle. The blessing was very sweet and touching. Gunnar was cutie in his all white pants and shirt and the green blanket that we bought him that is similar to the pink one we bought Lily. It was a very stressful morning for me having to wake up at 5:30am in hopes that we would be on time to church at 8:00 (I can't wait for the new time change next year). We were thankfully.
This week has been fun getting to be with family. Gunnar wakes up about every 2-3 hours so I have been trying to catch up on sleep as much as I can. Now that Aaron is home, hopefully I can get some good naps in and maybe even get him to take a feeding or two a night. Yeah right.
Tomorrow I am spending time with Dad going shopping with Michelle and Lorna and then Tues David gets in town. Still more fun to come. So far it has been a fun holiday season.
