Sawyer's Blessing

We had Sawyer's baby blessing on April 11. It was actually his first Sunday at church. We weren't planning on doing it so soon, but since our families were in town, we decided to do it then. Unfortunately, my family had to leave early, but Skigh's family was able to be there.
We had some trouble getting a good family picture.


At first, Bailey would not let go of her phone or her orange.


But after we convinced her to put them down for a minute, she would NOT smile. It was after church and before nap time, so I guess it's to be expected.


Sawyer wasn't loving it either.


Finally a decent one. No smiles, but at least no scowls (from Bailey anyway).

I got some more peaceful shots of Sawyer later in the day.


Skigh gave a very nice blessing, and Sawyer didn't cry at all. (Much different from Bailey who cried during her entire blessing. But she was older, and they were holding her on her back, which she hated.)


He was blessed in my Grandma Miller's blanket, just like Bailey.
