We are reaching back into the past a bit, but we wanted to express our gratitude for both sets of Grandparents and my Aunt Carmen for the role they played in honoring Augustus on his blessing day. My dear Aunt Carmen gave us the unbelievable outfit that Augustus wore! She bought the piece 25 years ago and was saving it for a future son. Coincidentally, when that son arrived in Saudi Arabia (Johnny B), the outfit was in storage across the ocean! It is hard to effectively describe the pale blue cotton batiste, the hand-sewn detailing or the tiniest buttons in production...it is all pure vintage bliss to the eyes and fingertips! And all perfectly preserved and now forever a token of Gus' day. Thank you Aunt Carmen! Lastly, we want to make specific mention of a VERY special Aunt Janae that couldn't attend, but wanted nothing more.
We love these photos...it really does capture the family commitment and support and how much you are loved. You guys are such gracious hosts and wonderful people and Gustus is such a little miracle, his own little person, but so much like you two at the same time. He is such an expressive baby. All the pictures just show his cuteness. he is so classy. Thanks for the treat. mom and dad, grandma and grandpa schow
