HOLDEN'S BLESSING

Sat. June 16
We first got the patio back after the construction mess. Steve and Trevor, David's nephew, along with Ann, worked like ants to move the dirt, replace with landscape fabric and gravel and set in the new pavers. The weather has been lovely for porch "settin'," in the low to mid 80's.

ALL BUT DICKIE, WHO SNAPPED THE PIC


Sun. June 17
The families gathered at 770 N for an "at home" naming. Bishop Kevin Santiago presided while Colton conducted. All of the Soelbergs were there, Steve and Tiff and the girlies, Uncle Dickies, Jayson, Emily et. al. and Kath and Alex, Millie's friends. I was asked to give an opening prayer and Colton proceeded with a lovely blessing. We had a light brunch thanks to Millie and Colton, all very tasty, of course, followed by a nice mingle. We missed Will and Jamie, still in North Carolina. It was a lovely event.
