Twin's Baby Blessing

Since the babies were preemies and there was a lot of flu going on, especially of the swine variety, we decided to bless the babies at home. We first spent a lot of time on the phone trying to coordinate family schedules and finally settled for Oct. Maddi and Jess then got Swine flu. So we delayed it, but then people couldn't make that one either, so finally getting around to actually blessing them took some time. We could tell we needed to just do it when different members of the bishopric were making the same joke every time they saw us. (by the time we bless the twins it'll be time to baptize them, hardy har har) Yep, we were a hot topic at Ward council apparently. So we FINALLY blessed them the second Sunday in December. It was a very intimate and special experience to share with our families and it was nice to be able to thank everyone for helping us so much. And Jesse did a great job with the blessings. Here are the pictures:
