Another reason for our trip to California (and Yosemite) was to attend Finn's baby blessing. He was blessed by his dad on August 5 in Livermore. He slept through the blessing and all the way through the meeting, but when they got him out of his car seat for pictures, he was ready to eat!
Michael found a hat for Finn that matches his hat. They looked so handsome together.
Finn wore the same blessing outfit that his daddy wore almost 28 years ago. I'm so glad Michael has a son, who was able to use it!
Cute little Finnegan Arthur! We're so happy he's in our family.
Michael treated us to his homemade pasta. Below is a picture of him preparing the pasta.
My job was to take the pasta after he cut it and hang it on this bamboo stick in the kitchen for it to dry.
And here is the finished product. Michael is a fabulous cook and he enjoys it too!
Madie's 3rd Birthday wasn't until Aug 20, but since both sets of her grandparents were in town, they celebrated it on Aug 5. She wanted a huge pink cake and she got it. Those are strawberries being used as the candle holders - what a great idea, Marilou!
I love the look on her face after the candles were blown out! She's so cute.
We gave her this dress for her birthday and a little doll that looks like Finn. She calls the doll Finn, too. Grandma Conner gave her the flip flops, which she loved!
Madie likes to pretend the whole movie of Beauty and the Beast. When she wears this yellow dress, she is Belle. She acts out random scenes from the movie and it's hilarious.
Madie loved playing with Papa's iPad.
We loved visiting Michael and Mallory and their cute kids.
