Finley was given a name and a blessing by his daddy on 8 April 2012. It was so beautiful.
Ash thought that the outfit that I'd chosen, while very cute, made him look like a mini Joseph Smith.
Oh, hey! We had a baby.
So, it's been quite a while since we've updated our blog. On 9 February 2012, we had a baby boy. He's so sweet and we love him so so much. Edith adores him and always wants to hold him.
He's now 11 weeks old. We just adore him!
Edith got a table and chairs that are just her size!! She loves it.
Some Christmas photos
Edith was in the Nativity at church. She was a sheep (right there in the front). She and her little friend ran all over the chapel yelling "Mark, set, go!" and "Come on! Follow me!" She can be a bit bossy. They were so cute, though.
She didn't want to wear the costume until I took her into the ladies and showed her what she looked like in the mirror. Then, she was all about the sheep costume.
For Ash's parents, we decided to give them a gift that just keeps on giving. They wanted an updated family photo or one of their grandkids or something. It seemed a bit pointless when they are so close to having another one from us, so we decided to give them one that they could enjoy now. I kept this as the desktop for a while. Every time Edith would see it, she'd say, "Pretty Daddy! Pretty Daddy! Hahahahaha"
Visiting the farm
We took Edith to White Post Farm, which is really close to where we live. She had so much fun on this adventure. Unfortunately, it overlapped with lunch and nap, so she looks a little bit crazy.
Jumping on the trampoline.
Riding a tractor .. don't mess with this girl!
Sledding/ sledging down the fake turf slope.
Making new friends with goats ...
Ash had fun too! He loves the little birds in the bird cage.
They love him too!
Look at the size of this rabbit!!
some maternity photos
These were at 38 weeks. I'm now at 40. I made Ash take them at 11pm so he couldn't avoid it. Also, I couldn't breathe out of my nose due to sinusitis. So fun.
while I sit around and wait ...
I figure that I may as well add some photos of the baby I'm waiting to deliver.
Piggies!!
I was so excited about actually putting her hair in pig tails that I had to chase her around the house to get this. She wasn't so pleased, unfortunately, being cornered. It's the price we pay for beauty, eh?
All about dressing up ...
Edith loves dressing up. She likes to try on her next size clothes and shoes and walk around the room in them, showing off how they look from every angle. Sometimes, I'm shocked at just how girly she can be.
She just doesn't know what to do with the eye mask. Somehow, this is the best option she can come up with.
Oh, and she loves jewelry.
Trashing the dress
Our wedding day was pretty rushed, what with two ceremonies and a four hour drive between them. Our pictures were also rather rushed. They aren't our favourite. So, we redid them (3 years later) the way that we would have liked them, relaxed and fun. I'd been really excited to do this for months, but when the day arrived, I was less than enthusiastic; I'd forgotten how uncomfortable wedding dresses are. Also, I felt a bit silly parading around the house in this dress that I completely altered for modesty's sake (since my own dress was apparently off limits). Our friend Kelsey came over to take the photos. She did such an amazing job!
We really did have an absolute whale of a time!
Unfortunately, there weren't any pictures of these beautiful shoes that I bought to go with the ensemble. I do love them, though. (I took this photo for some inanimate object practice.)
(I had to sneak Edith in here somewhere.)
And then, the trashing!!
Runny frosting! I really didn't want it on my face.
I was too messy to go anywhere near the house, so I had to strip off outside while everyone looked the other way. That was pretty tricky. I got stuck more than once.
Overall, it was such an awesome use of a wedding dress. Thank you eBay seller!
