Family, Family, Family, and More Family

Here is our family on the morning of George's blessing last weekend.  From that weekend to this we have gotten spoiled with getting to visit with so much family.  Lots of our family came to the blessing and then to our home afterward and then several of Abe's siblings who live in the Spokane area have had reason to come to Utah for conference weekend. 

This is my sister-in-law, Mary.  She and her husband, Baden (Abe's youngest sibling), came down from Spokane to bless their 3rd child, a baby girl named Sophie.  We switched babies for the picture, but both babies were screaming for the picture.  We quickly switched back and all was right with the world again.

 

Did you ever have a  "best cousin"?  I did.  He's still my "best cousin".  This is Faith with her best cousin, Eliza.  They were so happy to get a chance to play at the blessing and then later in the week as well.  I was so happy that the mommies got a chance to talk as well.  I like to visit.

Oh yeah, he knows he's hot stuff!  Shades of the future?

This morning Abe and his next younger brother, Jesse took these four lucky kiddos to a session of General Conference.  Amy and I stayed home and tried to listen a little and generally keep the peace between the younger children.

My gracious!  We have multiplied and replenished!

Here's the Conference gang outside the Conference Center.

Elinor and Annie were born 3 days apart.  Annie is actually OLDER than Elinor.  But I guess they got some very different growing genes!  Elinor is very tall, but Annie happens to be exceptionally small, so the difference is quite striking.

Okay, fun, fun, fun with family.  Now its time to get back to normal.
