Riggins' "name day"

Riggs special day turned out great.  We had great love and support from lots of family. I was nervous all morning he might cry through the blessing but I got him good and fed and he did excellent. Todd did an excellent job with the parts I heard. (In fact I think Todd has mastered the baby blessing :))  It was so sad the microphone did not work well so it was scratchy and quiet. I was disappointed when it was over...but my SIL heard more and wrote down some notes from it. :)

 Todd's mom has taken notes at every one of our baby blessings.  They each have a little note in their baby book with her hand writing and those notes are little treasures. I found myself getting teary eyed in the chapel realizing she was not there and feeling how much my little family has missed her.
But I am pretty sure that Riggs entire blessing was heard and recorded in heaven.  

The whole family!
 


We love Grandpa Sleight!


The Sleight Clan that came for his special day!
Of course I missed a pic of my brothers & their families that came as well. (Nate & Jon)


We love Grandpa Maughan..(grandma was there but she had to run to church to do something so we missed a pic with her)


Todd & his sisters. He looks a little outnumbered. he needed Craig to balance out the other side!
