You've had an extremely busy weekend. It all started on Saturday. Mommy bought tickets a few months back to the Stadium of Fire. It was going to be the first time that either of us had gone. When we bought the tickets your Grandma and Grandpa Bezzant volunteered to babysit you.
Mommy and I were somewhat worried about how things would go because you had been pretty fussy all day. Little did we know that you had simply been saving up your sweet goodness for your grandparents. You fell asleep before we got there at about 6:15pm. When we picked you back up at 11:15pm your grandparents told us that you slept until 10:15pm or so and then were an angel until we picked you up. You definitely went easy on them. I'm glad that you left a good impression though. Maybe we'll be able to sweet-talk them into babysitting again in the future.
Sunday was a busy day for you too. That day you got your baby blessing. Mommy and I spent all morning getting the house ready for family to come over after Sacrament Meeting and making sure you didn't spit up all over the pretty dress that your Great Aunt Penny made for you. Again, you were fussy before church, so we were worried about how your blessing would go, but you were a little angel again. You were sound asleep when the blessing started and wide awake at the end (but very quiet the whole time). You got passed around to get held by all your Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents after church. As usual, you were very happy to see all your family.
That same evening we went to your Aunt Karla's house to watch some fireworks. Your Uncle Matt was very excited to hold you pretty much the whole time. You sure have that boy wrapped around your fingers.
In my opinion, Monday (today) was the culmination of a darn good weekend. We all got to go have fun at Grandma and Grandpa Shaw's house and have a BBQ. I beat your Mommy in a game of ladder golf and your Aunt Becca had fun holding you for a while. I think the best part of the day for me was in the evening though.
A family in our ward (the Nichols) have a big BBQ and fireworks display every July 4th. This year was the first year that we went. It was fun to meet new people and talk to people that we knew. The best part however, was when the weather was perfect, you were asleep, and I was holding you. At the time, the song "What a Wonderful Life" happened to be blasting on the Nichol's stereo and I couldn't have come up with a more perfect moment. It made me realize just how happy I am to have you and your Mommy. You two had better not go anywhere!
I hope you know that Mommy and I love you very much. We're very grateful to have you be our baby and couldn't have asked for a more wonderful blessing in our lives.
Love,
Daddy
