Claire's Blessing

Claire's Blessing was yesterday. It was a really nice day. We had a lot of family and friends at the blessing and then we had a brunch afterwards with everyone. it was a really nice day. We were trying to get a quick family picture with Violet and Claire. It didn't work out. Claire was yelling because she was hungry, so now we have a bunch of pics of the bottle and Violet was grumpy because she wanted to go play with Noah, so she is trying to escape in all our pictures. It was pretty funny and I think is a realistic representation of life with two little girls.

We had fun trying to get a good picture and we gave everyone a good laugh.


Claire: "I just want to eat and sleep and your making me wear this dress and pose for pictures!!"
The Blessing circle minus Brad and a few special people that were there in spirit.

Diana came to the blessing even though she didn't get home from work till 2 AM and she had to go home and take a nap before getting up to get ready for work that night. I'm glad she could come.

Claire all snuggled up and happy before her big day. Claire is our screamer baby, this is one of her more peaceful moments. If you get a close up of Peter and I you will see puffy tired eyes, but we are happy and she is a pretty good baby overall. We are pretty lucky to have such good babies.

Violet in the swing, she doesn't seem to care that she's too big for it and she spends more time swinging in it than Claire does. She climbs over the back of it and slides right into the seat and then uses the bars to get herself swinging, she can rock the whole frame! She loves it.

Looks like a great day. Sad to have missed it, but we needed to be here. Actually. . . they blessed a little girl in our ward yesterday named Claire. Wesley was a little confused.

Sorry we showed up during nap time. It's hard to miss our ward because we teach. We just wanted you guys to know we support you. Great food too. RR

What great pictures. How fun that your baby and Josh and Joanna's baby were blessed on the same day.
