Edgar's Debut

This past weekend was Edgar's baby blessing. Whew! What a crazy weekend! It was super fun: FOURTEEN of my Utah family members caravaned up to Oregon for the blessing (his 2 sets of great-grandparents, his grandparents, and his 7 aunts and uncles and 1 potential aunt). In addition to that, most of his Oregon family came too (grandparents, aunties, uncles, and cousins). A couple of good friends came for the blessing as well. It was so great to have everyone there. My dad, brother Peter, and mother-in-law Marva all bore their testimonies during the church service--and it was great to hear that.
(In case it was in questions, his daddy did give him the name Edgar Alexander Carmichael).

CAUTION: If you aren't in the following pictures, you will likely feel it is picture overload...but it's really not for you anyway.

Darling!

Edgar meets his cousin Emily. He is not impressed. She is a bit overwhelmed by the hair.

When Garrett and Emily came with their mama Amy to visit, we already had 3 other little ones over to play. This is a snapshot of Alex trying to keep 5 little ones happy at the same time.

Edgar and Grandpa Lester. They are definitely related.

Edge and Grammie V. She's totally whooped.

Edgar and Grandma Carpickle.

Yup. He's super cute. And he just blew through his nice white blessing outfit.

We spent lots of time with our Utah family. We went to the beach (Lincoln City and Newport one day--Seaside, Cannon Beach, and Tillamook another day), Silver Falls, Deepwood, and had a campfire in the backyard. It was super fun, and super exhausting! Edgar and I slept for a whole day after they all left!

Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated Edgar's Debut into these crazy families!
