Well, September was sure a whirlwind month! It went by the fastest of all the months we've lived here so far. Last post was about us going to Ethan's baby blessing at the beginning of the month. We visited Utah again in the middle of the month so that Bryan could take part in recruiting for his company at BYU! It was fun to be back there as a visitor even though it hasn't been all that long since we lived there.
Here is Bryan at Clearwater's booth. I came to meet him at the end so it was half taken down by this point but I wanted to get a shot of him here anyway.
When we were done in Provo we headed up to South Jordan and had a fondue party with our friends the Pfaffs and the Jasps and then we spent the rest of the weekend with family. I didn't really take pictures to post up here but I happened to be taking a video of cute Ethan when the following occurred. (Sorry it is sideways!)
We came back to Boise for less than a week and then flew out to Maryland that next Saturday for Jack and Sylvie's baby blessings! I was so excited to meet these little guys for the first time and to spend time at my home with my family. There is nothing quite so comforting as that, it seems.
Here are a a few pictures I took from our time in Maryland. Here is sweet Sylvie, sleeping soundly in mom's arms. She spent a lot of time sleeping!
I liked this picture of my mom. I don't think she knew I was taking a picture. She just seems so genuinely happy. Jack is, of course, so adorable. On Sunday he slept in my arms and it was the most precious thing.
Ivy loved playing hide and go seek with us. I found her in a cabinet like this. She didn't seem to realize she'd been found-- I think she thought if she couldn't see you, you couldn't see her.
Here's Uncle Bryan entertaining Ava by pretending his tie is an elephant nose. I just love the look on her face.
Here are Jack and I on the blessing day. I almost missed the blessings altogether! I was sitting with Ivy on my lap as Sacrament Meeting began and she suddenly got a bloody nose. I had to run her to the bathroom to help with it. By the time it was finally done and she was cleaned up I walked back in and they were announcing the blessings. That was close! I'm so glad her nose cleared up just in time.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture with either baby in their blessing outfits-- I think their parents wanted to get them out of white clothes before they did what babies do best.
Do you see what I mean about the sleeping? She would be in her car seat for what seemed like hours just sleeping while we all talked loudly around her. I lifted up her car seat cover and snapped this shot (don't worry, no flash!).
I could have sworn I had gotten a picture of Bryan holding Jack as well but I can't find that anywhere. Pretty disappointing but this one is still pretty cute.
I know you thought that picture of Sylvie smiling was precious so here you go!
We flew back home on Monday-- what a short trip!We are glad to be done with traveling for a while and ready to enjoy our first autumn in Boise. The weather is starting to cool down and some of the leaves are changing color. I think this is one of the most exciting times of the year!
