Last Sunday, Ada was blessed at church. It was so nice to have my dad and stepmom come since they live in Southern California and we don't get to see them very often. My stepmom made the beautiful blessing dress that Ada is wearing in the picture. And of course Joe's parents, brother, and sister live in the same town we do, so they were able to be a part of her special day too. You would think she had been blessed with sleep because every night since then she has averaged 8 hours! It's been wonderful.
We stayed up late and played RISK with my dad. Joe tried to wipe my dad off the board with his legions of armies, but thanks to my dad's lucky rolling of the dice, he dwindled Joe's forces enough for me to take them both out on the next turn and I WON!
This picture was taken towards the beginning of the game, when we were all still being nice to each other.

What a beautiful picture. So nice to see your family.
I love the blessing dress. My kids have never had a special dress for their blessings. Scott's mom gave us the little outfit that Scott wore for his blessing, but Quinn was so big that two inches of his mid section showed when he tried it on the morning of the blessing. Congratulations on the sleep. Way to go, Ada!
What fun to have family come for such a special day! She IS beautiful! I agree with Marie...congrats on the sleep and way to go baby girl!
Beautiful dress! What a treasure! Hope that baby keeps sleeping for you...mine is 10 months and STILL up at least once per night! Grr!
The last time Russ, Heather, Christian and I played Risk Russ and Heather got into a huge fight so we had to throw the game away! Glad that didn't happen with you guys.
Wow, nice blessing vibe joe! It makes you feel like a whole new person to actually sleep. Don't you love getting addicted to Risk? you've GOT to try Settlers of Catan. It is just as fun.
What a sweet family you have Allison! She looks beautiful!
