So Precious

My cousin and me....

Athen made his first trip to Washington this week to meet his Aunt Emily, Uncle Brandon, and notorious cousin Sam. Sam loved Athen so much that he could hardly stand waiting until Athen woke up from his naps, and in the morning, would ask his mom, "Is Baby Athen awake yet?"

Athen's Blessing

Athen was blessed on Sunday the 13th of April. There to participate in his blessing were both Grandpa Rogers, Uncle Taft and Uncle Steve, and good friends Tom and Ben. In the blessing Athen was blessed to be a great missionary, have the spirit in his life and to have the gift of discernment. It was a wonderful experience for Tim to bless his first son and the spirit was very strong as many wonderful men placed their hands on my tiny little boy to give him a name and a blessing.

Athen In Real LIfe

First time...

Grandma Dorman is in town again for a two week visit. It is great to have her help and Athen enjoys all their adventures together. Now that he is 6 weeks old, grandma took him out to embark upon his first walk in the stroller and his first visit to the mall.

Here we passed by Borders book store in the mall and my oldest brother Brandon's illistration for the third Fablehaven book was right there for everyone to see. It is exciting, everywhere we go we see his illistrations for the numerous books he has done! We are so proud of him and like to bragg. Check out more of his work at brandondorman.com, it is all amazing.
Next to come is video of Athen's smiles and laughs, as soon as I find the cord to download from our camera! Ü
