A very special Father's day

We had a very special Father's day this year. We have been waiting til' we moved to Texas, where we had more family, to do little Link's blessing and since Father's day would be coming up soon we decided to wait for that special day.

Linkin Nathan
We had been looking and looking for a special outfit for Linkin to where for his special day but with no luck. Lucky for us my mom is very talented and was able to whip up this adorable outfit within a couple of hours. .....which makes this outift even more special b/c his Nana made it for him.

Here's our sweet baby. We love him so much.
We were so lucky to have so many come to support and join us on Linkin's day. Nathan was also very happy to do it on his Father's day. It made it a very memorable, special day for him.
Thank you to all who were able to make it out.
Here's Nana and her grand-daughters (with Caitlin's help to hold Carrie's twins) Nana bought all of her girls pretty matching dresses for the occasions. These girls are so lucky to have such a special Nana. (in picture: *Chris's girls* Annalee 6, Addalynn 5, Mavery 1, *Carrie's girls* Kaydree 4, Ava 1, Elsie 1, *Nikki's gal* Shelby 1 )

Wow! I had no idea you were headed to Texas. I feel bad I didn't even get to see the new baby. Good luck with everything down there. I'll have to call you soon and talk!

Good job on getting up pictures posted so quickly. We're so glad we could all be there together. Linkin was so perfect all the time we saw him. What a special family you are. Glad you're back in Texas.

PS: that video kills me! I love dad thinking he's suppose to sing w/ the kids, mom talking nonstop through the whole thing, Carver pounding on the piano, Jeffrey chiming in w/ his "ray mackey" voice at the end...KILLS ME!
