The older kids with their Dad

...plus, I think these pictures are stinkin' cute!

MJ's blessing day

This is much overdue, but MJ is officially known on the records of the church. C gave a beautiful blessing which included a blessing of protection and to have a smile; needless to say, we are grateful for both. She is such a happy baby. She loves to face out and I believe she really thinks all people talking in front of her are talking to her. What a joy!



Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Wouden, Aunt Keryn and the Marble family for coming in person, and to all of our friends and family who were thinking of us from afar.
We feel blessed to have such a special little girl in our family.

Thank you Marlies for the darling dress--it was perfect for the occasion! And this blanket was given to us from Grandma-great Afton. We miss you!

The Greens

My mom bought the kiddos coordinating green outfits. I've been trying to get a picture of them, and something always goes wrong. On my multiple-ith attempt, I managed to get these...




...aren't they good looking!?!
