Baby Blessings

Warning: Many, many pictures ahead...

On the first Sunday in September we had lots and lots of family come into town to be with us when Savannah and Lily (and cousin Kate) were blessed at church.
One of our wonderful friends at church offered to make their blessing dresses, and when I saw them I could not believe how beautifully they turned out!  The next time they get to wear dresses like this will probably be their weddings....yikes!  (Hopefully they'll have a little more hair by then.)

Rob's brother and sister-in-law, Matt and Natalie, welcomed baby Kate into their family about 3 weeks after Lily and Savannah were born.  They came down from Dallas to bless Kate so the whole family could be together. 

Can't you tell they're going to be the best of friends?  ;)
Monday morning, before Matt and Natalie drove home, Kate came over for a newborn photo shoot.

Then we had to squeeze in one more photo-op while we had the chance.  We broke out some of our adorable little dresses and snapped away. 
It's a pretty tight fit in there!
And one more sister shot:
Thanks Auntie Lola for the CUTE dresses! :)
We're so blessed to have these little ones in our family!

Time Flies

Here are some more pictures we took when Lily and Savannah were 2 weeks old.  One benefit of living in Houston during the hottest August on record is that you can take newborn pictures of your babies outside and not worry for a second that they are cold.  :)

I already can't believe how little they were....
