Today was a big day for us. We blessed Finn at church. He had a fussy couple of days leading up to it, so we kind of figured that he would spend the whole time crying, but he didn't make a sound. It was great for all of us and a time that we always enjoy as we welcome these little babies into the world.
This is Finn's first on camera smile, even though it wasn't a very big one, we know that it means he is happy. He is becoming all limbs and a round belly. Such a cute funny phase.
With everyone looking their best we tried to get a good shot of the boys together.
We had to go through several crazy face shots before we got a good one.
And wow, they are sure handsome when they want to be.
Dad and Finn. What an amazing husband I have, ready to keep teaching all of these boys. I very much appreciate the example that he is to them.
We are so grateful for tiny Finn, even when he puts up a fight and makes a point of being heard for a few days at a time. He also seems to calm back down and gives us some very happy moments to enjoy.
Nana and Vatti came in to town for the occassion. Finn is their 14th grandchild and the 7th boy. (His cousin Jaxson arrived after him and officially tipped the scale for 8 grandsons and only 7 granddaughter... half of those boys live at my house.)
The group that joined the blessing. We love being able to include our friends and family in these special moments. We have been blessed with great relationships in our lives and there is nothing like starting off those bonds when are kids are tiny. We really appreciate all of the support we have in life.
This was also an exciting day in our marriage as it was the first time that we have been able to have a gathering of any decent size at our house and not have to make everyone sit outside. It was great. I hope we are going to do it a lot more often.
