Luke's Blessing

Luke Carter Mattingley
blessed June 13, 2010
The night before Luke's blessing, Joel and I lay in bed talking about the next day. Joel pointed out that it is the beginning of the end. Wow! That sounds ominous! But he was right, we are starting a stage of life where we will be doing things for the very last time. Most likely, this is the last time that I will dress a sweet little baby in white, and watch my husband tenderly name and bless him. Knowing that, made Luke's blessing day even more special for our little family. We were blessed to share the day with family and friends, and we are so thankful to everyone who travelled to be here with us.
The Mattingley bunch--all members are present and accounted for.

Taking pictures after the blessing is always an adventure. Getting this many people together and smiling AND looking at the camera is a pretty tall order...

...well, we almost made it. What a good looking crew.

Just getting everyone in the shot is worthy of a medal. Forget hoping for everyone to look at the camera. Now you're just getting greedy. =)
