Blessing Day Memories

We all woke up at who knows what time other than it was before the sun...except for Misty. Everyone got showered and dressed...except for Misty. Everyone cleaned up the house for the lunch...except for Misty. This is starting to sound like the book "But not the Hippopotamus". Misty seemed to be a bit tired and since we all talked late into the night before it was understandable. However, I dont think that any of us knew that Misty and Robert sleep like the dead and are completely IMPOSSIBLE to wake. Just as everyone began to get to the apartment Misty finally was able to get herself ready as well. At this point Robert rushed Grandma Fee, Aunt Stacy, Alestair, and Mindy to the church to save seats as well as make room in the car for Misty and Heather. Everyone else got to the church about 30-45min later.
There was another baby to be blessed the same day. He was born almost a month after Alestair and also has a mother named Mindy. These are the only two babies born in the ward this year. Domynick (not sure on the spelling but I know I am close). Alestair was first. We had many people in the circle that were very special to us. Two of them being a close friend of Grandpa Fee named Dion Hatch and Dion's son Trevor Hatch. It was a very special blessing and we are so happy that Aunt Heather was smart enough to get a recording of it and hopefully soon she will be able to transcribe it for us.
Dion also brought his wife and 3 year old son Andrew. Andrew told me and Aunt Stacy continuly how much he loved my "castle" also known as the church building. This embarrased Dion as Andy has not missed a day of church for anything except being sick. Andy also loved Alestair and was very impressed with "him's feets" and how soft they were. It was very cute. We believe he made a friend with the daughter of another friend and coworker of ours named Halie. They played together at the lunch and Andy tried to share his broccoli with her.
After the lunch aparently it was nap time. Grandma Fee, Aunt Stacy and I did not realize this. We must have missed the memo. Robert, Alestair, Aunt Heather and Aunt Misty did not. The three of us who were out of the loop were actually talking with Misty and Heather when we realized they were asleep, a bit of a bummer for us.
Sadly after this it was time to say goodbye to Aunt Heather who needed to go home to her own babies who were missing her.
And now for pictures from "Heather's crappy camera"

Aunt Misty and Alestair

Apparently this was a special day and Alestair didn't think it was right to smile so he gave us all very weird looks like this.

Obviously the talk I had with him didn't sink in and seemed to worry him.

This was such a special day - I was so HAPPY to be there! I loved hearing A's blessing, hanging with the Fees and the Butlers, meeting your many friends and most importantly, meeting my dear little nephew for the first time!

Some notes...
Misty DID end up helping get things ready, after everyone left for the church...and she actually ironed my jacket the night before!

I'm sorry I feel asleep - this was my third state in four days, so I was kind of jet-lagged. I really wished I could have stayed longer!!

My camera is only crappy compared to Misty's thousand dollar job! The rest of the time its quite fly. Take that, Misty!!

Love,
Heather :-)
