Elijah's Baby Blessing (12/27/09)

This is Nate with baby Elijah in the foyer of the Prune Hill church after the baby blessing. I wanted to get a picture of them together and this was the best I could do. Nate was intent on putting Elijah to sleep so I was disappointed that I didn't get a chance to take a picture of his handsome face also.

We had dinner after the baby blessing at my house. Only Brielle is in this picture but Adalei and Brielle had matching dresses (a gift from Grandma Waldram) that are beautiful. The girls looked so cute together. I wish I had been successful in getting Adalei to pose a second for my photo. The girls are just growing up so fast and are just adorable. I still call them my sweethearts.

Little Spencer spent most of Elijah's blessing day at the hospital - he came down with pneumonia and that was quite a scare. I was amazed that Jason managed to break away from the hospital long enough to attend the baby blessing. After Spencer returned from the hospital, he took a nap on the couch with his Uncle Casey.

I just love the picture above and the one below. Misty had a great idea to take these pictures of Elijah and Spencer. They are six days apart in age. Spencer was 2.5 weeks early. Elijah was overdue. They are just so cute together. I think they weigh approximately the same - Spencer seems a little taller. We thought both babies look a lot like their dads - Nate and Jason. It will be interesting to see if that resemblance continues as they grow up. Too bad they don't live close together - they would be like twins!

Great post Ma. Actually Elijah weighs a good bit more than Spencer. But Spencer is beefing up :)

I think it is funny we have a picture of the kids together right after we found out he had pneumonia. So as an asterisk, at the time the doctor had said it was a urinary tract infection :)

The sleeping picture of Casey and Spencer is cute! I don't even remember that happening, but I'm glad you got a picture.
