September Photo Dump!

As indicated in my last post, we had a busy month! I thought I'd share all our fun with you by blogging. If you click on the pictures you should get to see a larger version in a new tab. :D Enjoy!

Here are the big kids on their first day of school:



Grandpa and Grandma Kelsey and Grandma Linda all came to visit. We went to the Joseph Smith Birthplace Memorial:



The New England Air Museum:



And Honey Pot Hill Apple Orchard:



Abigail got baptized on 5 September 2009. We were thrilled to have most of the grandparents and my Teta Daria and cousin Ivanna there. (Grandpa Dan, you were missed!)



The next day, Sam got his name and a blessing. Here he is in his adorable blessing outfit from Grandma Kay (he was kinda sleepy when I took these, lol):




We also spent time at the playground:




Mike and Aidan are on the same soccer team this year, the DC United (the DC stands for Diamond Charlie, their coach. Hehe!) Also on their team are their good friends Eric and Dallen. Here's a couple shots from the games. As you can see, we're raising good, religious, God-fearing boys. ;)



My girlfriend Linda Dobbins made Sam some darling knit baby items. Here's a couple shots of his cute Converse-like sneakers and his heirloom Hoover-style blankie:



Sam has learned to make some pretty funny expressions. Basically, stuff you can only do if you have no teeth:



He's also found an unconventional way to soothe himself. No thumb sucking here!



Hope you enjoyed our little trip through September. Now that it's October, there will be forthcoming pictures of New England Autumn and Halloween! :D
