Blessing

Grandma and Grandpa came out for baby N's blessing and we were VERY grateful they were here. It wasn't much of a vacation for them since we put them to work with the kids and helping us prep the house for moving, but we hope they managed a little R&R at the hotel. Baby N was great during the blessing and it was very moving (for me anyways). We were scared she would be too big for the dress, which is ironic considering I was worried she would be too little for it when we were buying it. #1 had that problem since we blessed him when he was only 2 weeks old. I ended up taking the tulle underskirt out so it wouldn't end up as a miniskirt on her and that seemed to resolve the length issue. Aunt Chandra did a great job finding this for us out in Utah- I love it.!


But I don't want to be pretty!


Hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa




I'm starting to see the merit of getting a professional photographer. Or Photoshop. It's nearly impossible to get a picture with two kids (and two adults) where everyone looks good. Definitely worth the money. Once N's baby acne/cradle cap clears up (and I lose this blasted pregnancy weight!) maybe we'll go strike a pose somewhere.



Post-blessing: Grandpa took a nap and Grandma played legos with #1. They got him his first set! An addiction is born...






Watching a pro at work...




On the way back from dropping Grandma and Grandpa off at the airport, #1 threw up in the car. Once we stripped his clothes off at home, I found him like this. Have I mentioned how much this kid loves his sister? It's the greatest.
