blessing

we had Avery's blessing this weekend. it was so much fun to get the whole family together. i had all my brothers and sisters in town! it was a full house, but a blast. the girls have so much fun playing with their cousins. and they were both thrilled to introduce them to their new sister. once again, this is the first time we have taken a picture of our whole family together. and Anna had some new fun faces to share with the camera!

Avery was such a good baby, she got a little hungry during church, but then slept the rest of the afternoon! and Madeline fell in love....with Shea, my aunt Marcy's puppy. Maddie could not keep her hands off this dog, and loved walking her around on her little pink leash.
