Last Sunday Dad and I got up at 4 am and caught a flight to Burbank, California in order to attend Ella's blessing. We arrived about an hour before their church began. Robert's parents had flown in on Friday night before and everyone was getting themselves ready for church. Here is Ella in the dressing gown Andrea made for her. She is taking in all of the action.
Jack and Grandpa Bowns both wore red ties for the occasion. Here Jack is giving Ella some assistance.
Pretty good looking family. This was taken after the blessing. Robert gave a good blessing, and Ella squawked a bit during it, but the job was done. She is officially Ella Fewkes.
The traditional family shot after the blessing. Jack didn't want to face the camera so I told him to look at the camera and say "puzzle" (Puzzles are his favorite thing to do.), and he did. Everyone had a good chuckle which is why we all look so happy.
It was a quick trip, but rewarding. We had a great time seeing Andrea and family again and we always enjoy visiting with Robert's parents. What a good way to spend a week-end!
what a beautiful family, if I do say so myself. too bad we're a bit loony.
