Happy Birthday Daddy!

Josh said that all he wanted for his birthday this year was a beautiful baby girl. And since that was already taken care of, I at least put her in her Yankees onesie, and emailed him a card while he was at work. He said that it made his day! (Then I took back all of the other presents I got him.) Jk! :)
See, he's obviously super excited about all of his presents. I really just wanted to point out that I wrapped all of his presents in baby bags with pink tissue paper because we have an excess of them right now. For his birthday he worked, then we went to Ruby Tuesday to watch the National Championship game, and then we played with his birthday present-the beautiful baby girl to be exact. Happy Birthday old man!!!

And a random side note...
Even though this picture is so beautiful of me, I just had to add it, because this is my new favorite activity (that I have to give up, for the sake of better napping routines.) I used to like naps, but now I feel so lucky to be able to take one every morning with Meili-what could be better! But now it's time to say "So long good friend!"

Meili's Blessing





We had Meili's blessing on Sunday the 2nd. (and I was having some fun with my new camera) It was very nice. I was nervous that she would poop in her dress, or cry through the blessing because she was tired and hungry. I was also nervous that Josh would accidentally say that her name is Bubba (because that's his nickname for her right now.) Luckily, none of those things happened. She was crying right before the actual blessing, but I think she liked all the attention from 10 men all at the same time. (Hopefully that will wear off before she's a teenager.) She was such a trooper all day long! My made her dress and I really like how it turned out. Thank you Mom!

Thank you to everyone who came to support her. I'm sure someday it will mean a lot to her, but right now, she doesn't know the difference. But it did mean a lot to Josh and I. After the blessing we had lunch at our house.
