Wynne Blessed on Father's Day

Wynne Marie Thomas's baby announcement.

Abe and Klarissa decided to bless their baby daughter on Father's Day. Here's the stroller brigade inside their church building.
Glen and I were feeling very blessed we got to be there for the beautiful baby blessing given by Abe. I know Klarissa's dad had been enjoying time with the family before we got there and stayed a couple of days after we left.



Here's little Wynne tucked into her stroller under the baby blanket from Bethlehem.
The stroller group walked home after sacrament meeting. Michael was able to get Newland to sleep. Glen felt the need to keep the sleeping boy company by taking a long nap himself when he got home.

But first the three of us had to hike up the hill to the car after church was over.
Gotta love the famous San Francisco steep hills!
Abe and Klarissa fixed a delicious grilled steak and grilled veggie meal for us. We ate it out on their back patio under the palm tree. 
Here are the men with their Father's Day gifts Klarissa had so thoughtfully gotten for them.
Along with Newland who was already eating away at the chocolate gift Abe had received.

When we dropped off the car seat and stroller the first night we were there, Newland had been so disappointed to see me at the door instead of his grandpa.

Glen has always been his favorite between the two of us. It made me happy when Newland softened up to me and sat on my lap while watching one of his favorite kid movies. Glen was enjoying a Father's Day phone call from one of our children.
Abe wanted in on the selfie photo.
It just wouldn't be a Sunday without popcorn!

Time for more photos in the back yard before the sun went down.


After such a great nap, Newland had lots of energy. He got on his bike and pedaled around and around and around the patio. It was tricky business to not get run over by him as he made his endless rounds. 
And we had to time the photos just right or Newland would photo bomb the picture.

One of my favorite activities when Newland was blessed was watching Abe and Klarissa having a little personal photo session with him in his white outfit. I was so happy when it came time to do the same with little Wynne.

She was so content lying on her back with her arms outstretched being the perfect little baby model. So cute and so sweet and so precious.



Now some photos with her hat off so we could see her hair.



My favorite moments were with mother and daughter.

We had a little FHE activity with Newland.

It had been a wonderful weekend with Abe's family. It was so fun to see Wynne in person for the first time. We were happy Newland's lip was healing. We appreciated Abe and Klarissa's hospitality.
They have such a precious little family!!
