Shayne's Special Day

Today was a special day for Shayne as he received a name and a blessing.  He is such a special boy, I just hope he knows how much his parents adore him.  He is a wonderful baby and brings us so much joy.  There is something so incredible about holding such innocent and perfect infants or watching them as they smile and coo, for me, this is heaven.  Here is one of my angels:

And here is the crew...

Madi knew today was Shayne's blessing and this morning when she got out of bed the first thing she told me was "Shaynie special day." (She says it Shayne E)  And then during the quiet of the blessing she said (a little too loundly)  "Shaynie blessing...Shaynie getting blessed."  We love our babies!

And we love our extended family!  Today we got to spend time with a ton of family.  The Millers (Tyler, Carrie, Lainey, Brady and Lila) and Papa and Tutu Miller as well as the Skeens (Andrew, Rachel and Kaili) and Jenni, Maea, and Gradma and Grandpa Skeen.  What a life!  It doesn't get much better than family binges.  We're so grateful to have such a wonderful extended family on both sides.  

 (I guess I need to work on my timer photography!  

And yes, that is the top of Tyler, Lainey and Brady's heads...Sorry guys!)

Stay tuned for the continuation of the family binge as we enjoy the Skeen's annual camping trip and then another whirlwind Boise trip.  I hope we don't whither up and die in Vermont during the famine.  We're going to miss this!  So, I guess I better get back to enjoying it while it lasts.  

We love you Family... near and far!

Sing Happy Songs

Shayne is quite the vocal boy these days.  I love baby noises!  Last night he shared a room with his Auntie Jenni and was serenading her.  She decided to use Garage Band (gotta love Macs) to catch some of his cuteness.  We didn't know how to put an audio only clip up so here is just a still picture of Shayne and some awesome baby vocals.
