Talmage's Blessing Day

June 5, 2016

It's always a special day for us when Darwin has the opportunity to give our new baby a special blessing.  We look forward to it every time a new one joins our family, and this time was no different.

Our little family on Talmage's blessing day!

The girls almost always need a silly picture :)

Darwin gave Talmage a beautiful blessing at church.  Afterwards, everyone headed to our house for a luncheon.  It was delicious and great to be with everyone!




Both of Tal's grandpas having a chat :)





My family wanted pictures with Omie and Grandpa while they were still here, so that's what the next couple of pictures are.

Us with our sweet little boy after most of our company had gone home.

While we were cleaning up, Darwin realized that the lemonade mix never actually got mixed in to the water and of course he had to taste a big finger-full of the powder.  Sour!!  Silly kid!

Grandma and Grandpa had brought this rocking horse back home with them when they came into town a couple of days earlier.  It was fun, but not very well balanced so it was tricky for the girls to rock on it!


Savy is cute when she pouts.  She was upset that Aurora wasn't giving her another turn on the rocking horse.

Aunt Georgiana with Talmage!

I love this one--Geo being silly and Talmage spitting up on her. Haha!

And this one is cute too :)

We stuck Talmage back in his blessing outfit after a while because didn't want to pass up the opportunity to get pictures of him in it.

He looked so handsome in his blessing outfit!  It was a gift to us from Grandpa and Grandma Deming.


He's such a sweet little guy!

We're so blessed to have you in our family, Talmage!

He's such a happy boy!

All tuckered out after a busy day!  Savannah fell asleep in the house and Daddy and Talmage took a snooze on the front porch swing.

Rori being silly!

Sleeping with his focus face on :)





The girls love all of the periwinkles around the house.

Aurora wanted to share with the boys.

I think Daddy was only half-sleeping at this point. :)

Thanks to everyone who came to support us!  We missed everyone who couldn't come, especially Nanny and Tayton, but you were there with us in spirit :)  And thanks to everyone who pitched in and brought food for the luncheon.  It was so nice to have good food and great company!  We love you all!
