Such a blessing

We are so blessed to have Connor in our lives and on Sunday, Feb. 3, Derek had the opportunity to give him a name and a blessing in our church.

It was a wonderful, special day.

We were so grateful to have several family members and many friends there to support us during the church meeting. Afterward we gathered at our house for soup, rolls, veggies and cookies. It was great visiting with everyone and celebrating this milestone in Connor's life.


Getting Lydia to comply with the photos proved to be one of the more trying aspects of the day. However, it is wonderful to have a photo of all four of us -- having four in our family still feels a little surreal.

The Grady side: Lydia, Leslie Ann, Brian, Derek, Lisa, Connor, Artis, Lionel and Nellie

My mom was so worried the pictures would show her bare feet that my father-in-law snapped this one of just the feet. Sorry Mom :)
My mom and my grandma were a great help keeping food on the buffet line.


Letter C, G and L cookies (for Connor Grady Larson of course!)
