So I know I'm a little late posting these but when I went to do them last weekend the program was being dumb and wouldn't let me finish uploading the pics. So hopefully this time around will work!
Okay, so here we go. Joel was blessed last Sunday September 10th in our ward (the Daytona Beach Ward). Grandma and Grandpa Rosen were there, our friends Aaron and Kimberlee Newman were there and we were grateful that our friends Aaron, Davina, Alyssa and Rebecca Fallaw made the trip up for his blessing. It was kind of an eventful day. It started because I was running late so we walked into church with only a couple minutes to spare. Fortunately there was still a long bench for us to all sit together on. Then the bishopric almost forgot that we were blessing Joel. Tj had to go up to the front and remind him while the introduction to the sacrament hymn was playing. Fortunately the Blackmans (the family that does the music for our ward) noticed what was going on and stopped the music so we could bless Joel.
Then I forgot to send a pacifier up with Tj so Joel's blessing was a little on the short side b/c Joel was getting antsy. But it was nice. We had Tj, Grandpa Rosen, Bishop Edinger, Aaron Fallaw, Aaron Newman, Chip Barrett and Brian Hartley (men that Tj works with in YMs and family friends) participated in the blessing. It was short and sweet but it was a nice blessing.
Then Tj's mom had us all over to their house for dinner. It was delicious and it was nice to just get to visit and spend time with everyone. And Joel was even pretty good for most of the time~ which was nice since it was his nap time.
It was kind of small and we missed having my family there but it was a nice day. Anyhow, below are some pictures from his blessing.

(Joel didn't wear all white b/c the outfit I liked Tj did not. Not only did he not like it, he thought it was so bad that when I showed it to him he thought I was kidding. He called it "An Arabian Prince outfit". So we just blessed Joel in his normal church clothes.)

(The kids were getting fussy and cranky and of course wouldn't look at the camera but it's a pretty good picture of Davina and me.)
