They were more interested in looking through their church books.
Grandpa Rand came to visit for Jax's Blessing.
Getting this baby blessed has been a bit of an ordeal for me. In September I called my brother and asked that he travel to Texas when we bless this new baby. A couple weeks after he made arrangements for him and his wife to come, including someone to watch their 4 kids. We find out that the first Sunday in February is Stake conference. Didn't really work for them to switch to this weekend. But I'm excited I still get to see them next weekend.
We got everyone dressed in their Sunday best. Something we do every week. But today I felt like more work was involved. I bathed Jax and got him dressed in his special clothes. But as the mom I really wanted to HEAR my child's blessing...Today I didn't. Between the microphone being to soft and the twins noise I heard a few words here and there. For all I know Seth gave him an entirely different name. Which I know he wouldn't...that's not the point. I didn't hear the twins blessings very well either as the one that wasn't being blessed was fussing. But I did hear their names and a good portion of their blessings...today I was there but I missed what was important. I know I have complained to my family about this all evening and Seth has tried very hard to correct it. I know its over and there is really nothing I can do to fix it. Seth his written down what he remembers for me. I thought as I was sitting there shushing my kids and hearing nothing that surely they were going to stop, turn up the volume and start again. I can pause my dvr and rewind when I missed something on my favorite tv episode, why not in real life? Then it was over everyone was sitting down and I was....disappointed.

I was wondering if you could hear it - it was really quiet. I'll point it out to Conrad - maybe they can figure out the volume for the next one. Either that or we'll sit in the front row!
