I love the beach! I miss the beach! In early May we made a quick trip to Laguna Beach to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. Grayson slept the whole time!
The big boys got their feet wet and splashed around a bit
So cute!
Nice jump Liam!
This is how the day ended
This post is a bit of a rewind. I can’t believe how fast time goes when you have a newborn at home. It seems to fly by with all your time occupied by feedings, changings and soothing tears. Liam has been such a big boy. It was quite an adjustment to have Grayson at home. There was a few times Liam looked at Frank or I and asked “do you still love me?” Aahhhh…… like a dagger to the heart. I was worried how it would be having a new little baby at home to love. It really is like they say, it is not as if you have to divide your love, your capacity for love grows. Now if my time could just grow too so I wouldn’t feel like I was shorting anyone. It is a big balancing act, I think I am getting the hang of it. I think! Here area few pictures that I haven’t gotten around to posting yet. Some are from my Dad (thanks Dad!) and some are ones I snapped.
Getting ready to go to hospital and welcome baby Grayson.
Welcome home family of 4!
These next few pictures are of the first time the Auntie and Uncles held Grayson
Hi Uncle Mike
Nice to meet you Uncle Kyle
Hey there, Auntie Darshan!
This year Father’s Day was extra special, family and friends joined us as Frank blessed Grayson. It is always such a touching day. To see your precious baby dressed all in white and be cradled in the hands of the faithful men who love them, is always inspiring. I am so thankful that Frank holds the priesthood and can bless our children. What a special time.
As you can tell Grayson was done with all of this blessing business! He cried from practically the moment I handed him to Frank until we got home. He really is a happy baby!
Our Eternal Family
The Family!
Unfortunately Grandma Ruth was under the weather and work schedules made Uncle Michael & Jackie and Uncle Kyle & Auntie Darshan unable to come.
Our dear friends!
We took a few minutes to snap some pictures in the front yard.
Sweet Aunt Karen makes all the kids these adorable burp cloths. I always save it with their outfits so that they can use it one day when they have babies of the own! Love the little booties, too bad his feet were a little too small and they didn’t stay on!
On Monday Grayson was in a much better mood so I put him back in his outfit and took a few more pictures. There’s our happy boy!
We love you, Grayson boy!
My heart is like a fountain true,
That flows and flows with love to you.
As chirps the lark unto the tree
So chirps my pretty babe to me.
There’s not a rose where’er I seek,
As comely as my baby’s cheek.
There’s not a star that shines on high
Is brighter than my baby’s eye.
There’s not a boat upon the sea,
Can dance as baby does to me.
No silk was ever spun so fine,
As is the hair of baby mine.
My baby smells more sweet to me,
Than smells in spring the elder tree.
A little fish swims in the well,
So in my heart does baby dwell.
A little flower blows on the tree,
My baby is the flower to me.
The Queen has scepter, crown and ball,
You are my scepter, crown and all.
For all her robes of royal silk,
More fair your skin, as white as milk.
Ten thousand parks where deer do run,
Ten thousand roses in the sun,
Ten thousand pearls beneath the sea,
My babe more precious is to me.
My babe more precious is to me.
We love you Grayson!
