Baptism and more

Abby is three weeks today!  That flew by!  She fits right in the family, and is so far a very easy baby, doing all the things newborns do.  Andy and I laughed the other day - we had forgotten how much time and work a person that little takes!  I'm enjoying (almost) every minute, time goes by too quickly, and babies don't last:) 


 She was baptized January 4th in the afternoon service.


The boys had a turn holding her when we got home.  This is how it's supposed to look ( more or less), smiling boys all happy to sit with their little sister. (below).

 This is how it actually did look...(below) a mass of boys fighting about who was going to hold her, fake smiles and grabbing arms.  Rowan is convinced Abby is just his size, whereas Seth is the oldest, so he obviously should hold her, and Tristan plods on with a fake smile plastered onto his face.  The above photo was taken after cleaning, admonishing and bribing with a candy.  It lasted all of 3 seconds;))


Can you tell we're having fun with her?

  2. So adorable! I think every family is the same; we had our share of moments like that when Curtis was born! Treasure each moment!

    1. So true Anne! - about all families being the same, I thought I'd better be honest and record it the way it was, so we can laugh about it in years to come;)
