Once again, we had a family get together. Once again, it rained cats and dogs. I'm not ungrateful, I just have to laugh at the timing. Truly, the past 6 family events planned for my home have been met with an unnatural amount of rain for Arizona. Maybe we can single handedly fix the drought!
We were so lucky to have our family and friends join us bright and early on January 1, 2023. We got ready in a hurry and arrived to our church to see family already saving us seats.
Jake said a few sweet words to Wade, and we all thought about how cute he was.
After the blessing, we all headed back to our home for brunch. It was wonderful and the least stressful post-baby blessing party we've ever thrown. Jake and I continually discuss whether this period with Wade is so great because he's such a calm baby or if it's because we're older and more calm to things we have no control over. I'm sure it's a mix of both.
