The weekend of March 29 was a great one for our family. We had lots of family and friends travel long distances to be with us as we gave Lane Lincoln Eagar a name and a baby blessing. For the new dad, this was a wonderful and unforgettable moment, and one that I had been anticipating for quite some time. It was the realization of one of my fondest dreams. Lane was blessed to do some very special and important things in his life.
It was really neat to see our family and friends fill one entire section of the chapel. It was also neat for Anna and I to share our testimonies of the truthfulness of the restored Gospel and Church with our families, friends, and ward family.
Afterwards, we gathered at our home for lunch and good times. Thanks to everyone who contributed to it. We had BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, Chips, Fruit, about 3 different salads, and drinks. For dessert we had 2 different Texas sheet cakes with ice cream. Fortunately, it was a beautiful, mild, sunny day here which allowed us to have lunch picnic-style in our back yard. We fit about 30 people at our little house, which was a near-miraculous feat. We really enjoyed visiting with everyone and catching up on what we've all been up to. We had just about everyone there, but we missed very much those of you that were unable to be with us.
Here are some pictures of the day. We hope you enjoy them!

What a special day for your family! We wish we could have been there. Little Lane is starting to look a little bit older. What a handsome little guy!
We are sorry we missed it!
I have to say...your family is beautiful!!! Lane is just a perfect fit! :)
Congratulations you guys! Looks like you had a great day, and one you'll remember forever.
Hooray--so exciting! He sure is a beautiful baby boy--and his mother sure is beautiful. Anna, I love the longer hair--I think it's been too long since I've seen you. Also, Happy Birthday. I'll try to call you again, but I wanted to be sure that you knew I was thinking of you on your special day!
