Cori’s blessing

 

On May 30th, Derek gave Cori a name and a blessing at church.  Also standing in the circle were her Papa, Uncle Nick, Uncle Joey, and Uncle Doug.  He blessed her with health and that she would be a good example to those around her and feel the love of her family.   When Derek finished the blessing and held Cori up, Eli yelled, “Good job Daddy!”  The whole congregation laughed.

 

Cori is a very sweet baby and we love her lots.  She smiles and coos a lot these days.  We just love it when she gives us big full face smiles with her mouth open and eyes twinkling.  She also likes to stick her tongue out and get us to do the same.

 

We took a big family pic at our house after church right before we chowed down on lupper (lunch/supper).

Family Fun

May was a busy month for our family, here are some of the highlights:

Aunt Perina turned 90 on May 6th.  My Mom and Aunts put on a big shin-dig for her.  I don’t have any good pics from the party, but here’s a recent one of her holding Cori.

On May 11th my brother Doug got home from his mission in Argentina.  We are super proud of him and glad to have him home.

My cousin Cody graduated from high school, so all the Hardgrave side of the family got together at Jenny & Brian’s house.  It was the first time we had all been together in a really long time.  It was lots of fun and yummy food.

This is just a cute pic we took of the kids in their pj’s looking at each other.
