Beautiful Dress, Act III

I would never have dreamed, after having three boys in a row, that someday I would get to use this blessing dress not just once, or even twice, but THREE times! Here is sweet Marigold looking happily at Abe, off to the side of the camera.

Three sisters: Daisy, Juniper, Marigold

We were lucky to have two of my brothers in town for the week, so we had a lot of fun get-togethers with the cousins. I love this picture because it's so typical: Malachi holding forth earnestly on some subject or other to whoever will listen (Nancy, in this case). Everyone was so nice to our kids---they LOVE their aunts and uncles and cousins! We wish we could see you all more often!
We took a few family pictures. I like Mark in the background of this one. He looks like he's reciting a soliloquy. I don't think he actually was . . . 

All eight of us!

Marigold was darling in her blessing dress and a model baby during the blessing itself. We love her!

What a darling baby (the current baby, that is). I love that picture of her smiling to the side. Her hair looks a little red...is that accurate?

I just love how you can tell all your kids belong to you guys. They all have the cute Nelson/Nielson stamp!
