Reminiscing - Babies and Blessings

Here is baby Jonah in the hospital. February 2004! Born in Worcester, MA.
Jonah's Blessing Day. April 2004. We were so happy to have Mom & Dad (Burton) and Tim (Alli's bro) & Kathryn visiting us! Earlier that week we'd driven down to see Tim graduate from college & be commissioned into the US Army in Virginia. Then we all drove back up to Mass. for Jonah's blessing. What a long but very cool week!!
This is Baby Merrik at home. March 2006. He always was a good sleeper. Born in Hartford, CT.
And Merrik's blessing day. April 2006. Left to right we have George & Claudia Burton (Alli's parents), Jared holding Merrik, Alli holding Jonah, Bill & Dolores Cowden (Jared's dad & step-mom), Paul (Jared's bro) in back, Kattie (J's sis) & Michelle (sis-in-law) in front of Paul, and on the right is Dick & Beverly Williams (Jared's grandparents). This was at the Springfield (MA) Ward chapel.

And baby makes 4! Our first family photo with the four of us.
Jonah (2), Alli, Jared, Merrik (1 month ... and sound asleep, of course!) April 2006 in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Yay! More pictures of your adorable family! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks also for commenting on my blog. The three things at the end of each post are things I'm grateful for or things that make me smile.
