This is how we spent most of the day... Gwen in the baby Bjorn and Me carrying an umbrella to give us some shade... it worked very well.

Gwen's Blessing

Gwen was blessed, by her dad, on May 3, 2009 along with 2 other precious babies in our ward (Abbigail Curran and Beckam Webb). Gwen wore the same blessing dress that I wore almost 26 years ago. She looked like a little angel and was pretty quite during the blessing. One of the parts of her blessing that stood out to me is that she would be blessed to be a good communicator and that has held very true so far and I can't wait to hear what's she's got to say in the future. Side note* I would have loved for this to be a family picture but Sterling refused to come outside, he just wanted to go to nursey....the boy loooooves nursery!

dudes of a feather shave together?!?

The last time Sterling had a haircut was just a little before Gwen was born so it got a little wild... then it all got the buzz. (look at those studs)

at less than one month...

I really didn't think I would be so much into the 'girly' 'frilly' things but oh no...

more pictures...

Sterling has loved his sis. from the beginning.
wow she was itsy bitsy.

Yes...we really did have another child!

A long long time ago...well about almost 5 months now our family welcomed a beautiful little girl.
Gwenyth Rouge Caress was born March4, 2009. Weighing in at 7.3 lbs. and 19 1/2 inches... wow the details are a little fuzzy as I'm typing. Yikes... we all love her so much and can't image our family without her now.
