This last weekend was very special for our family. My parents, two younger brothers and their family from Roseville made the 320 miles trek on Saturday to stay the night with us. Saturday evening we ate, laughed, watched football....and ate some more. I was sad to see them leave Sunday afternoon after Sacrament!
I stressed a little deciding what to Petunia in for the occasion. An infant doesn't have to wear anything in particular but since my boys wore white I decided I should stick to it. I found this two piece sweater outfit with a matching beanie online at "Dressed in White.com" and I LOVED it. It was also cheaper than most of the gowns that just seemed too long or fluffy.
Thank you to all who came to witness the Blessing and to friends and family who participated in this ordinance. We love you!

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.

I LOVE her dress...did you or someone make it for her? It is beautiful...and a beautiful little girl wearing it too.
You seemed to be glowing when I saw you last Sunday. Glad to hear that it was a great day for your family, and Scout looked so sweet. (I want to know the story behind her nickname.)
