New Camera

Dave has had this camera for a while, but I pulled it out to finally use this week.  It is a really nice film camera.  My abilities don't do it justice, but I'm learning and having fun.  If only film/processing weren't so expensive...

My adorable little boy...who will certainly let you know when he is hungry.   It's really the only time he will cry non-stop.

Meg and Brinn with Fineas and Ferb.  No, we do not have cats, but the neighbors cats have claimed us as their family.  Why?  Probably because Brinn loves them.

Trying to be artsy.

Brinn loves getting her picture taken.

More pictures of Eric

Our cute little boy holding his head up so well.

Really, dad?

Eric LOVES his bath time, especially when dad does it.

So cute! These pictures were taken by Dave's mom, and she did a great job.

I love his little feet and bum.

It's not very often he will cuddle, but when he is really tired he'll snuggle right up.

I love this picture--Alan dancing with the light, Mom signing bird or butterfly or something, Meg smiling beautifully for the camera, even Eric looking at the camera, and everyone else laughing and looking at Gigi. 

Eric's Blessing and Labor Day

Eric received his baby blessing today. It was a wonderful experience and fun to spend time with so much family.

Eric especially enjoyed being held by so many people.

Then on Labor Day, we went to This is the Place Heritage Park to learn about our pioneer roots. The kids especially enjoyed the petting zoo, making leather bracelets for themselves, and panning for gold. And guess what; we actually found "gold!"

Brayden enjoyed the park by our house.

And we finally got one last smile out of this guy, after a long day of being held and coddled by everyone. Way to go Aunt Jenny!

Happy Boy!

Eric is getting really good at smiling.  It is fun to have him interact a little.  He also likes to stick his tongue out at you if you do it back.  He is growing up so fast.

Big News!

Eric slept through the night last night!  A whole 7 hours!  Granted, it was probably a fluke...but I felt like a whole new person with 7 hours of consecutive sleep.  Yeah for my little man.  Cross our fingers he'll repeat that again tonight...

Now, just some cute pictures.

Enough with the pictures, mom, I want to eat!

Dad and Eric bonding...not sure what Eric thinks of being used as a book rest.
