o.... I meant to actually write about Rowan/Rowen's blessing, but I have a faint recollection that after writing it one evening, she woke up and I went to put her down and never made it back...
We had a wonderful day with friends and family up in Vancouver for the blessing. My parents and Abram's brother Dallin drove up with us from Bellingham and then we were joined by wonderful friends from our beloved Acadia community: Nora, "Papa Mike," Bridger, Julia, Olivier, Ugo, Hannah, Marley, and Lisa. It was so good to see so many dear friends in our Vancouver 1st Ward as well--we dearly miss being a part of that sweet, loving congregation.
We had some lovely treats in the park provided by Grandma McCune (complete with the decorative touches for which she is notorious:) and played around in the sun-baked grass (can you hear the nostalgia as I look back from the beginnings of wet winter?).
Here's a few more photos from the day:
We felt very blessed not only to have such a sweet little soul joining our family, but also for the wonderful friends and family that were able to join us in our celebration and gratitude. We miss all you beloved Vancouverites!
