A Blessing and a Move

We blessed Sadie on our last Sunday in Saginaw, which worked out really nicely.  We were happy that Josh's dad and my dad could both fly out for it, even though my dad had just been there 2 weeks before.  We had fun spending time with the grandpas on Friday night and Saturday, 

 then went to church on Sunday morning where Josh did the blessing with his dads and a few other priesthood holders in the ward.

 Our little family of 5!

 And cute little Sadie Jo.  She was the first of our babies to not cry during the whole blessing and to not poop all over her dress :)  Before her blessing I went back and looked at what I had written down about the other two's blessings just for fun.  Josh blessed Shane that he would have a love of learning- that has definitely come to pass!  He blessed Marissa that she would be a peacemaker in the home... hmmmm, still waiting on that one ha ha.  One of the things he blessed Sadie with was that even though she was a 3rd child that she would be a leader and stand for what was right.

We got home from church and had a quick lunch before Josh's dad had to leave, then a couple hours later my Aunt Pat and Uncle John came to help us finish packing up the house.  We thought we were pretty close to being done when they came, but we quickly realized how wrong we were and were so, so glad to have them there.

Here is Pat on one of the only minutes she was not packing or cleaning up the kitchen like a mad woman.  They were both a ton of help and I don't know how we would have done it all without them.

They stayed through Monday night, we finished up the loose ends on Tuesday and my dad and Josh pretty much packed up the whole truck before the men from our church even showed up.  (I think my dad was trying to show us how young he is in light of a recent birthday... we were impressed!) We left Wednesday morning and made it to Fort Wayne without incident, and the rest is history.  Which means now I need to start posting pictures of the house!  It is almost ready...
