Baby Blessing

Today was a beautiful day of baby blessings. My sister and I got to bless our baby girls on the same Sunday which was really nice. Kyle did such a wonderful job and gave a beautiful blessing for Evelyn. It has been so fun to have so much family in town this weekend from Utah and Georgia. Evelyn and Chloe had matching dresses and it was fun to dress them up and have them looking so angelic. I can't believe Evelyn has been here with us now for 6 weeks she is so precious and so fun to watch grow and change each and every day. She is starting to sleep now up to 5 hours during the night which is so nice, I've never cherished 5 hours of sleep before in my life. Tomorrow we are headed to the beach, my favorite place .

Our First Father's Day!

Well we had a fun weekend celebrating Father's Day for the first time. I think Kyle really enjoyed being able to celebrate the day. It's been another good week with Evelyn and she seems to be growing everyday. I am excited she is starting to fit into more of her clothes so I can dress her up during the day, even though the clothes last only a few hours before she needs a change. I am getting more comfortable with taking Evelyn out so we have made it to the mall, of course, and out to eat so it is nice to plan activities to get some fresh air. My good friend Kate Jeffries had her book published so we went over to Barnes and Noble to attend her book signing which was really neat. We took some pictures of the cousins together and with Grandma and Great Grandma.

First trip to Church

Well it's been 3 weeks now being a mother and I have quickly come to learn how much work it really is. It truly is a blessing to have Evelyn in my life I am just trying to learn how to adjust to getting through a day on little sleep. It was a lot of fun going to church with Evelyn, one to get out of the house and two to show her off in her cute dress. Kyle's mom came into town for a few days and it was so fun to have her here. She was a great help in holding Evelyn so I could get things done and take a nap. Kyle and I were even able to go out and see a movie, which was awesome.

Kyle's dad made a beautiful cradle for Evelyn that she now sleeps in. It is so nice to have the cradle for a wonderful keepsake.
It surely has been nice to be close to family while caring for a newborn, I really don't know what I would do without their help. My sister and I went for our first walk together with our little girls and it was fun to push around my cool new stroller. Motherhood is growing on me and I am really enjoying the feeling of having my own child.
