Everett Matthew Ekins Baby Blessing
November 29, 2009 - Washington, UT
-------------------------------
Even though Rett is a little over three months, Andrea and Matt waited for family to be together for Thanksgiving for Rett's blessing. Doug joked that Rett would say, "Good job Dad," after his blessing. Rett is the best baby--so pleasant and easy going (along with Cohen)! Tom, Hillary and their three little ones traveled to St. George also, along with Rita. Doug and I had a wonderful four days together enjoying the weather and our family, especially holding the two new baby boys while we visited and visited. In addition, the girls actually shopped on Black Friday and finally saw the movie, New Moon. Thanks to Rita, the three couples went to see another movie, Blind Side after we all went out to eat at the new Brick Oven Restaurant in St. George.

One advantage with a baby being older, they are more awake and smile!!!

Mom these pics are great! That's so nice that Rita got to come along and be apart of everything. And Everett is to die for, he is a spittin image of Andrea, I couldn't get enough of that pic of him smiling. TOo cute, he and Cohen are growing up too quick. Wished I could be there.

I loved the pictures, too. I totally agree that little Rett looks just like Andrea. Now they both have one that looks like them--the little girl looks just like Matt. What a beautiful little family!
