Fun Weekend!

What a great weekend we had! On Saturday, Mat and I enjoyed a night out with some friends at The Police concert. It was a perfect night for sitting on a blanket and watching STING and enjoying some good 80's music. Bonnie scared us by having some premature labor, but she was kind enough to curl up on the blanket til the concert was over. :) We dropped her off at the hospital on the way home. Fortunately, she was discharged in the morning and all is well so far. No Baby Boy Burton No. 4 ... yet! I think he is just a big Sting fan, too, and wanted to come out for the concert.

Then Sunday was Halle's blessing day. It wasn't fast Sunday, but we realized that Sara only has 2 Sundays left with us before she leaves for China ...til December! So we decided to bless Halle so Sara could be here with us. (It's hard enough having Tanner gone!) Mat gave her a beautiful blessing, and we were so happy to have the support of family and good friends. We had a little bagel bust afterwards...bagels & schmears, fruit, Italian sodas, etc. The Stephens, our awesome next door neighbors, are in Chicago this week, but they just finished their incredible deck and backyard, and offered to let us party there. It took all stress out of the day for me, and it was a beautiful place to enjoy breakfast. (Except we missed the Stephens' being there!)

I posted a million photos, but Halle is just so darling, it's hard to choose only a few. You have to keep scrolling down to see them all :) Her dress was made by my friend, Mindy Myers, and was absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks everyone for coming and making it such a special day for our family.
