Ptolemy's blessing day couldn't have been any more perfect. Among scores of rich and treasured moments, I have a favorite: When Scott got up to bless Ptolemy and men started making their way to the front of the chapel, gathering around the baby. With their arms on each others' shoulders, the men who love our baby boy formed a literal representation of the protection they offer Ptolemy in life. As he grows, he has a whole lot of men to show him the way, through their example and their love.
Tolly lived up to his reputation and was a perfectly agreeable host for the family and friends who joined us for brunch. Any time you can get most of the people you love in the same room together AND have them bring food, it's a good day. A very, very good day!

I knew you would have a beautiful post tonight. It was a very good day. Thanks for letting us participate.
I'm sorry our tag-teaming this morning made me miss it. I love the zen shots of Tolly with his hands behind his head. So cute -- especially considering babies' arms can barely reach the tops of their heads!
You look absolutely gorgeous.
Congrats!!! I love the sweet picture of him smiling!
Tolly is an incredibly gracious host! It was a lovely party! Happy Blessing day Tolly!
