Last Sunday was a special day in our family.  Our son Alexander Clark was finally blessed.  Our first plan was to bless him Sept 1st the Sunday after his birth.  That didn't work out for various reasons.  Main reasons were that he was still in the NICU this day and my parents were unable to come due to family issues.  We decided to try to arrange for October hoping for the best.  My parents and sister were finally able to drive down to be there for his blessing as planned.   We asked my Dad to bless him since he had not been able to attend the girls blessings.  It was nice to have members of both sides there when he was blessed.  (Blessing is like a christening with out the water.  It is a special prayer said for the baby.)  Alex slept through the whole thing.  I was surprised he dislikes being moved once he is comfortable.  He has a temper after all he is a red head.  After church we had a luncheon at Matt's parents home.  Matt's mom did a wonderful job making tons of food.  The house was filled with family.  The girls found the cookies right away.  Alex got passed around to all the family.  He looked so cute in his little outfit.  Emme had to remind everyone they could not take him home with them when she wasn't following around her second cousins Stockton and Aspen.  It was a nice day filled with family and friends.  Alex is such a sweet little boy.  He loves to be cuddled and loves to smile. He has a temper but is quick to be calmed.  He has such a beautiful set of blue eyes.  He is a perfect mixture of his sisters.  He has Emme's red hair, temper, nose and looks similar to her as a baby.  He has Livi's chubby cheeks, big blue eyes and calm.
