Blessing Day for Taylor Lynn

Could this family be any cuter?!

The star of the show!

We love you Tay-Tays!



We were so proud to attend the blessing of our new niece, Taylor Lynn. It was a particularly beautiful blessing for a particularly beautiful baby girl. There is something very moving about seeing multi-generations of men surround a tiny newborn and exercise their priesthood.

Mimi, this one is for YOU!

You asked for it, Mimi and here we are in all of our glory! Only 8 more weeks (hopefully a little less!) until we meet our baby girl!

Nate's Wedding

We had the opportunity to attend a very close family friend's wedding this weekend. Nate is like considered another brother by the Jackson Boys. He was so happy and we are all really excited to have Collette and her children a part of the family. The weather was perfect( BTW all you Mainers...the 70's temps are turning into snow tomorrow...feel better?!) and the venue was breathtaking. I realize now that I have NO pictures of the bride....I know...what was I thinking! You'll just have to trust me that she was gorgeous. In fact, Brady kept asking where the princess was! Another funny Bradyism...when we walked into the room there was a quartet playing and Brady said, "Hey, this is Baby Mozart!". And it really was Mozart--does this mean that there is hope for my sports obsessed little guy?

The Haunting, The Fun

This year brought Dumbo to town (thanks Aunt Maria). Brady was definitely more excited about Halloween...well somewhere between excited and spooked! Here are some of the highlights of our holiday. Hope all your little goblins (and big ones!) had a wonderful day!
