Separation Anxiety

Megan and Quentin are in Utah, but Megan sent me a card in the mail with this picture on it. It might be my favorite one yet.

Quentin's Blessing

Quentin was blessed yesterday at church and it was a beautiful occasion. The blessing was beautiful and I just feel so grateful for my little baby boy.
Those that participated in the blessing:Brigham, Ben, Alan, Christopher, Brian, Stan (not pictured-Brad and Jackson).
I actually made his little blessing overalls. They turned out okay and I have decided to take another long break from making clothes.
Aunt Caroline, Samantha, and Lauren absolutely adore him.
Three generations of Palmers!
We also had a lot of friends come and we really appreciate their love and support. It was just a wonderful day!
Christopher's Palmer grandparents came and visited us on Thursday on a layover. It was fun to introduce them to the youngest Palmer!

Conglomeration

We love being parents! Here is a just a taste of the photos we have taken in the past couple months. Quentin seems to be quite the master of expressions and we are obsessed with all of them! Enjoy!

Donations

My niece, Vivian, was born with Down Syndrome. She is a beautiful child and loves to sing, dance and play dress up. She also is the best huger in the entire world! When she hugs you, you know that her heart is filled with love for you just through her embrace. I really miss seeing her, as I live on the other side of the country!
My family is participating in a fundraiser for The Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada. "The DSOSN advocates that one day all persons having Down syndrome will be accepted in the community and respected for their abilities and contributions. We plan on achieving this vision by providing positive forms of support, information and education to those affected by Down syndrome and the community." If you are interested in learning more about donating to the cause please go to http://www.firstgiving.com/songjohns.
