The last Sunday in September we blessed Maren at church. There were two other babies being blessed the same Sunday, and since that time, two more women in our ward have had babies, with another due in late October. Hurray for babies, and crowded mother's nursing rooms. The more the merrier!
Maren wore the same blessing dress that I wore as a wee one. Does that make it vintage? Certainly nostalgic for my parents, who were able to fly in for the weekend, along with two of my sisters. Sunday morning was busy as six adults and two little people scurried around our little house getting ready for nine o'clock church. My Maren soothing-feeding-changing-burping-cuddling efforts were successful. She was content, drowsy, dry, and free of bubbles when Daddy took her up to be blessed. Both grandpas, an uncle, and daddy were in the circle for the blessing.
After church we hosted a lunch for Quinn and Mara and their family, and for my parents and sisters. It felt wonderful to have a house full of family! We attempted a group picture, which is getting more and more difficult. This is the best of our seven attempts. As my mom said, "It's history." Ezra had to be held in place and tickled frantically to produce any kind of successful result. Not bad, not bad.
After food was a much needed boy cousin romp in the back yard. Our yard is kind of shabby right now, but I think the dirt, weeds, rocks, and sticks made it all the better for three active boys. Their antics were highly entertaining! Here are some favorite candid shots:

Hey, we had two baby blessings in our ward today too!
Extremely rare.
Back yard looks good. Yay for Teancum handling the younger boys well.
