Andrew's Blessing Day, Oct.11, 2009, 8 weeks old

Porter, the night before the blessing showing grandma his Optimus Prime Costume.
Porter and Andrew the night before the blessing, Andrew is NOT happy.

Mike blessed baby Andrew today in church. The blessing contained three things. A desire to learn and get an education, to use that education to help others. To love others and to obtain a great relationship and understanding of Jesus Christ. It was really a neat blessing. Of course I'm gonna think that though. :)

ATTENDING: The Murdocks, the Birds, the Halls, the Bennetts, Chris and Vic and all of the Cranney families, except Jeff and Joan's, Keylo, Al and Jax, and G-Force and of course the out of staters. (We missed you guys)

Aunt Vic and Uncle Chris drove down EARLY from SLC. This is Andrew in Porter's blessing outfit. It's WAY too small. (Porter was bustin' out of this thing, and we all thought he is such a chunk. Andrew is blessed a week earlier than Porter.) Plan B. Wyatt's blessing outfit. Because Andrew has such a pretty face, he looked pretty girly in it.

Linds is so great with EVERY kid! Such a sweetheart!

Levi..OMG when did you grow up?
Trish and I took pictures of eachother taking pictures. Aren't we cool?
Linds. Didn't I tell you she was a sweetheart?
Ashley being the awesome teenager that she is.
Jen Ben scoring more coolest aunt points with Abbie.

JoAnn, Andrew's "favorite", who "forgot her church clothes"

Mike trying on the Tri suit. it's a little snug. We were cracking up when he came walking out and said "well, how does it look so far?"

We then partied our buns off at Liz's house from 10:30am till 5pm when poor Abbie came to her mom with a 101 fever. That pretty much sealed the deal for the party and I brought the boys home. 11:30pm Liz calls with the unfortunate news that Abbie has the swine flu.

Today, Monday, October 12th.

8:30am-called Heidi and Chalyse to tell them they were exposed to swine flu

8:45am-made an appointment for Porter who was red eyed and coughing

9:45am-at the Dr. testing Porter for swine flu. Negative, it's the croup. (which is way better than swine flu!) He said keep the boys as far away from interacting as you can for the week.

10:30am-made a hut for Porter in his room, stocked him up with movies (courtesy of Heidi) and there he has been all day, requesting smoothies, ramen and water.

11:30am-fed Andrew and he has been asleep ever since. I have actually gotten a lot done today.

4:00pm-jinxed myself for writing above sentence.

6:00pm still working on this post, with crying babe in arm.

*NO ONE got swine flu from that party! WHEW
