The Stork has Been Busy

This past Sunday, we attended the baby blessing of our newest nephew, Matthew William Olsen. He is the son of Mary (Hiram's sister) and Craig. The crazy thing about this blessing is that Matt is the third baby that has been born in our family since July. Bethany started the whole thing off in July, then Hiram's sister Cherie gave birth to Natalie Nicole Mecham at the end of September, and now Mary has given birth to Matt. So all three Thornton siblings born in January have had a baby this year. PLUS, Liz's sister Becca is due in January, and Hiram's step- sister is due in March. That will make FIVE nieces and nephews born within a year!

Here are the three babies and their moms: Mary, Matt, Liz, Bethany, Cherie, and Natalie. Bethany looks so big in comparison to the other two- a couple of months make a big diference in baby time!

And here are some cute pics Thomas took of Bethany during the breakfast following the blessing. We are amazed that he was able to get pictures of her smiling. She's a happy girl, but usually when she sees someone with a camera, she starts investigating the camera and stops smiling!
