Blessing Day, First Smiles, & Cousin Jack

It's been a while since our last post so we have a few things to catch everyone up on. On March 30th we blessed little Zachary in church. We were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Hafen come down for the blessing along with the entire Darin Hafen Family. It was lots of fun to have so much family in town. We don't get many visitors living out here on the open plains of Texas so we are always excited when family makes the trek.

Holy cow! Julianne's baby is as big as my 11 month old. Congratulations on your baby's blessing, Marianne.

I love all the cousin pictures, but especially the one of the two babies stretched out on the floor. It will be fun to see how they both end up!

Cute!! ...and congrats on the blessing day--what a special event! So Eliza will be 13 months next week and little Jack weights 5 lbs. more than her! That is a big little guy. I hope his parents are getting him the football gear already!

Marianne- Ellie used to be much smaller than Ryker, however, she has made that up quickly! Congrats on your blessing day!
