A very special day

Sunday October 21st was a very special day for our family, little Joseph looking very 'spiffy' in white headed off to Church to formally receive his name and to be given a blessing.

Our sweet little white man!
With Dad
What made the day extra specially special is that our good Texan friends John and Cheryl Elmer were in town for whirlwind ten day visit (to attend their son's wedding to an Aussie lass!). Brother Elmer had given Isobel her name and blessing two years ago, so it was wonderful to have him do the same for little Jo!
A lot of people have commented on how nice it was to see my Mum and Dad and how did I manage to loose my American accent so quickly?!
We may not be related but we love you guys!
Together with the Crosbies
...the Christys, Hayden-Smiths
and Jimenez's!
Another 'family photo!'
Just hanging out!
Big sister attack!


Little Jared (born just 4days after Jo) quite literally 'hanging'!
We loved the cute little overalls!
And ofcourse no special day could be complete without a big BOB hug!
Or a Daddy chuckle!
WILD BEARS!

Lyns rounds up the stragglers...
but Bears gets away!
Saying our 'Goodbye's till next time we meet
... hopefully in sunny Texas!
... and a step back in time...
Remember this pic from our Blog years ago?! It was little Bear on her blessing day
... spot the differences!
