A baby shower to celebrate Knox

















I felt so blessed to be surrounded by loving friends and family on 09/17/10 at the baby shower. My great friend, Holly, hosted the shower at her home and the evening was filled with tons of smiles and laughter. Holly did an amazing job putting together the shower. We played pictionary with words that were related to pregnancy and babies and some of us laughed so hard that we cried. Holly also setup a great mad libs game along with the "how big are you" game and everyone used string to make their guess at my girth.
We had a yummy desert spread and Alycia baked a beautiful cake. The evening was perfect with great friends and lots of laughs!

Griffen gets a blessing

Matt couldn't be home for Griffen's first day of school, so when he came home the following week he was able to give Griffen a "beginning of the school year" blessing.
Griffen has never received a blessing before so he was really excited! The blessing was wonderful and afterwards when we asked Griffen what he thought he said "I feel really good".
This was a very special moment for Griffen and Matt and I know that both of them will be looking forward to this new tradition at the beginning of each school year.
