Phoenix Bitner Hill - Baby Blessing Weekend

For a quick review of the blessing weekend:


We went swimming on Sat. for my sister Tibi's birthday. Marce loves to swim and we practiced going under water and he liked it but kept on smiling and not closing his mouth. He had a life jacket but it was too big for him and instead of helping him be safe, it actually made it more unsafe cause he couldn't control his swimming with it, so I took it off and he did a lot better. He loved the tire swing and he went off this slide about 20 times! There he is coming out and I'm there to help him at the bottom.

Connie, Tibi and her cupcakes for her 14th birthday!



Landon - I love his mustard yellow shirt!

Marce scratching his knee...?

Cute little Levi, my happy nephew was sick this weekend but he's on the mend now.

It was an exhausting weekend and this is not the first time I've found Marce like this.

Tibi loves the grandkids sooooo much! She's the best at taking care of them, holding them, and entertaining them.


These guys are sooooo loud when they get together, true Packards and Willards...the Shirley side isn't that loud, and the Hill side is even quiter, but these guys together can break an ear drum! All the grandkids minus Phoenix.


Thanks mom and dad for coming. Darn these quick trips. They are so bittersweet. We had a good weekend. It felt like I was caught in a tornado though. It was so fast, I could barely keep up with myself! Marce wore his new suit I got him and grandma and grandpa were smitten with him. They told him he looked ready to go on a mission. I was trying to prepare food so I didn't even get a picture of him! He looked so cute. I'm happy I got it for him.
P.S. Mother, make sure you send me those pictures of Marce in his suit! I'll take some of him before church this Sunday though...

Looks like fun. Glad that you got to spend time with family. Wish we lived close enough to visit too. Maybe, who knows where the Lord will take us next?

I know Karena, I'm selfishly hoping you guys end up out west somewhere,...anywhere! and Camie yeah it is great to all be together although it seems a lot of times there's always someone missing and this time it was Kira and Michaela, but we can usually ALL hit it Christmas at least...
