Alex's Farewell/ Tanner's Blessing

 Alex was able to stand in the circle for Tanner's blessing.  How cool is that?  It was a wonderful, practically perfect day.  Alex's farewell talk was so good...and SO SO SO many people came.  It was really neat to see how many people were there to support our family and especially Alex.  We were especially grateful to Lindsey for letting us host the family luncheon at her house.  NOTE TO SELF...do NOT leave your cellphone unattended...those crazy teenagers!!!
