Erik's Blessing

Paul blessed our baby in church January 6, 2008, exactly one month after he was born! Our family braved the snow storm to make it to Erik's first spiritual experience. Paul did an excellent job giving the blessing, emphasizing that Erik is loved very much by his family and giving him other blessings Erik needed. The blessing outfit Erik wore has sentimental value. Paul wore it when he was blessed, 24 years ago! It was such a special day! I felt so much love for Erik and also felt the love that our Heavenly Father has for him. I'm so grateful to be a mother of such a wonderful baby boy! Thank you to all our family who came to support us on this special occasion.

Happy New Year 2008!

We went to the annual New Year's Eve party with Pawly's high school buddies, but this year we introduced our baby boy to the friends and party life of New Year's Eve! It was a lot of fun playing games and exchanging funny white elephant gifts, never a dull moment!

The baby was styling in his cute outfit, and first time wearing shoes! He's got one hand in his pocket and the other is saying hi. . . all in his sleep.

Happy New Year Baby! He's so festive.

Kissing the old year out, kissing the new year in!

Blow that bugle boy!

Baby's First Christmas 2007!

Erik's First Bath

Awww, doesn't he look so content and sweet! We're loving every minute with our new little boy! We captured the happy moments of Erik's bath. He was not happy to be naked or to get his hair washed. He's a lot better now with bath-time, wow and looking at these pictures he really has grown a lot in the past month!
