Baby Blessing

It’s been a few weeks and definitely time for an update.  Leonard took Kaydra, Kanyon, and Miranda to Idaho Falls to visit with my parents for a week.  He went on a hike with Reid, Thomas, and Kelly to the top of Mount Borah (on his birthday) and then came back home.  

What this all meant for me was a house to myself and the baby for about four days and then it was just me and Leonard for about three more.  It was a much needed time for me to catch up on some rest and get to know Timberlyn a little more.  My mom and Courtney brought the kids back the following week (August 3).  They brought Kalli and Tarek with them and Markell came over from Moscow with Archimedes.  We all had a good time.  We made it to Carver Farms to pick cucumbers and strawberries, went to the lake a few times, and made it to Art on the Green.  The weather was perfect.  It was fun to have them here.  On August 5, my dad, Jake and Riley, and Paul arrived.  Dan and Dreyken were supposed to come too but Dreyken was sick :(  Maybe next time.  Since we had quite a few family members in town we decided it would be a good time to bless Timberlyn.  We were able to do it at home, which was nice, especially because she is so little still.  It was a beautiful blessing and I feel so blessed to have her in our home.  She is starting to wake up a little more now and she LOVES to be held.  She often cries until she is aware that someone is going to pick her up and then she stops.  Sometimes, if I pick her up when she has been crying, she looks at me and her eyes seem to say, “Where were you?  Did you know that you left me here all alone?”  It’s pretty sad!  Anyway, here are some pictures of her blessing.  Thanks to everyone that was able to be here and also to those of you who would have been there if we lived a little closer!  There are a few things I miss about being in Idaho Falls!

The men that stood in the circle :  Jacob Fuller, Neil FitzSimmons, Leonard FitzSimmons, Paul Fuller, Toby Reynolds, Mark Fuller

And now for some of the pretty girl herself.  For those that don’t know, her dress was made from the train of my wedding dress by my cousin, Debie.  All three of my girls have been blessed in it – isn’t she precious?!!

 

I even caught half a smile!  She likes to get all dressed up!

We all think she looks like a Fuller here.  Must be the eyebrows!  She is looking more and more like Miranda every day!

Love you Timberlyn!
