Blessing Day.

Lincoln was given a name and blessing on Sunday May 15th. Adam gave him a beautiful blessing full of great promises. I love my 2 boys and am so grateful for Adam's worthiness.

  It was neat to have some family there to be there for Lincoln.

Lincoln looked so Handsome in his little white tux.  He was such a good boy during the blessing as well-- not a peep heard.

I love the tails on his tux.  Here he is with Nana.
