Well, we finally blessed Carter. We had hopes do to it in California because of the large cluster of family. Unfortunately, Greg could never get enough time off of work to warrant spending the money to fly out there. We were given an adorable blessing outfit from my cousin Kelly and realized that if we don't bless our son soon, he will no longer fit into it. (Yeah, our boy is 4 1/2 months and he is 20lbs.) Despite not having tons of family and friends around to witness his blessing we were very blessed to have Carter’s Grandma and Grandpa Swisher make a 4 hour drive to come. Now that is some family love! We really just wanted some family to be there and could not thank them enough for coming. A baby blessing is such a special time for us, it means the world to share it with those that have a genuine connection to our lives. It was a beautiful blessing given to him by his dad. Greg was so cute, after the blessing he took some time and wrote down some of the feelings that he had about the blessing. I recorded these thoughts in a book for Carter. Hopefully he will refer to these special words often in the future.

Arizona wasn't cold just rainy...It was in the 60s and 70s when we were there. We had a blast! It sounds like you had a fun time with Julie and Matt being in town for a bit! That is so fun! How are things going out in Chicago? Any better?
Congrats on Carter's blessing! He's a super cute kid!
you have such a beautiful family guys. I miss you all!
