Blessing Baby Einn

Mark and I packed up our little horde and headed south for the weekend. We were going for several reasons, but mainly to be there on Sunday when Andrew and Ruth blessed their baby boy. It was really wonderful, because Great-Grandpa Mason was able to stand in the circle for the blessing. I don't know if he's had the opportunity to help bless any of his great-grandchildren before. Baby Einn was the center of a huge circle: Both grandfathers, loads of uncles from both sides of the family, you get the idea. It was neat.
After Church, there was a big get-together at Mark's parents' house, with Andrew making the most fabulous stir fry (and in such large quantities! it was amazing! there was actually enough for everyone). While they were slicing and dicing, Ruth and I took advantage of the great afternoon lighting in the living room, and took some Blessing Day photos. Here they are, for your enjoyment.
