Brody's Blessing Day and No Strings Attached!

We finally blessed Broderick Kenneth Riddle on February 1st, 2009. We were nervous that he might be awake when we blessed him and he would cry or arch his back, which would make it hard for Derek to hold him. But our wonderful little boy came through for us again. He fell asleep just before sacrament meeting started and slept through the whole thing. We couldn't ask for a better son.
My family came down for the blessing as well. It was so fun to see them all again. Brody and Gregory are good friends already. It will be so much fun to watch them grow up together. We really missed Justin, Becky, and Audrey though.




On another good note, Brody and I made another trip to the Lung Specialist this morning. The doctor said he would send a prescription to discharge the apnea monitor. At 11:45 am a van arrived and took that little box away. WOO HOO!! Now the song on the top of the playlist is a tribute to Brody. He's getting so big and doing so well and now HE'S GOT NO STRINGS to prove it.
