Henry's big day

Henry Glen was blessed and named on December 30, 2007 while visiting the Mesa 76th Ward. It seemed easiest to bless him where more family could attend, plus Mesa 76th Warders love his mother, Janae. This is a quick picture of the family before leaving for church. Raymond was pretty proud of his new church clothes. He thought that he was "gorgeous."
Henry is wearing a new outfit hand smocked and sewn by me, his Grandma Laurel. It was a pleasure to create this for him. I crochet each new grandchild a baby afghan, usually while traveling in the car between Mesa and Provo.
Grandpa Glen loves this new little namesake. We miss Henry Glen and his big brother, Raymond. They kept our house busy and fun. We look forward to visiting them later this year. We are glad that we were able to share in his special blessing day. Many great uncles, uncles, cousins, and two grandpas were able to assist his father, Andrew, in blessing and naming this special new baby boy.

I was so confused as to how there were two grandpas since my boys only have one living grandpa, including great-granpas. Finally, I realized you must have meant Frank! It was a great day!

Thank you for the pictures. They came in the mail today. I felt like Frank is looking forward to being a grandpa!
