Tiffanie and Chelsea (Aaron's sisters) and their families were down in California for the weekend. We decided to head to the beach for a day of fun and sand castle building. The nieces and nephews decided that they wanted to be part of the scenery instead of just enjoying it. So, I helped them. We got home and found sand everywhere--I can only image the places that they ended up finding some.

Sunday we had Blake's blessing. here we are just outside the church. It was a beautiful day and apparently the blessing went well too. Thanks everyone for the support and the visits. We had fun, but I think Blake appreciated the time, energy and money that was given up to come out and visit the most. I hope the good memories out weigh the other ones. Thanks again.
