Penny’s Blessing

We were so glad to have Gabe and Molly bless baby Penny at our house.  It was crazy how many people we fit in that tiny living room of ours.  I think there were about 40 people in the house.  Gabe gave a really sweet blessing for Penny. Although I didn’t hear any of it, because my sweet son, Parker, screamed bloody murder through the whole thing. I was over in the corner with him and as soon as Gabe started the blessing Parker started screaming.  I was trapped. There was no way for me to get out unless I threw him through the window, which did cross my mind. I had to just hold him down and put my hand over his mouth the whole time. It was so awkward.  I felt so bad, but it did bring back some memories of his blessing.  We had some delicious food afterwards and had a great time visiting with Molly’s family.  It was a special day and we love having little Penny in our family and seeing Gabe and Molly as parents!
