Babies' Big Day

The babies had their first plane ride this past Monday, and they were great. It was far more stressful and exhausting for their mother and their Nana Candy--but they flew like pros. They ate and slept and charmed everyone sitting around them. We flew from Baltimore into Salt Lake City where my parents picked us up, then we continued on to Pocatello for the babies' first trip to Idaho!

Since we've been here, the babies have had the pleasure of meeting lots of family and friends. Daniel flew into SLC to join us on Saturday (and of course, a huge snow storm came in with him--but this time he was able to get over Malad Pass, thank goodness!). Then this past Sunday, the babies went to Church for the first time. While there, their Grandpa Tom gave them their blessings (similar to a christening, in the Mormon church babies receive blessings). Addison looked so pretty in her dress, and Jackson looked very handsome in his sweater. It was a big day for the babies, and of course they behaved wonderfully.

We started to take pictures of Jackson and Dad at the end of the day, but we discovered that Jackson had blown out of his diaper, and had gotten poop all over his shirt--so we had a poop emergency and didn't get any pictures of my handsome boys together!
