Baby Blessing and Washington Trip

So this past week we went to Washington to get Matthew blessed in church.  It went really well, but he seemed overwhelmed from going to church and having tons of new people around, so he only wanted to be held by Mommy or Daddy the whole day.  Anyways, here are some pictures from our trip...

Daddy and sleeping Matthew.  Daddy had him so he could show Matthew off to all of his friends and people in the ward as he walked around.

4 Generations, Dad, Mom, Matthew, Great Grandma Margaret Russell, Grandma Jan Russell, Grandpa Scott Russell, and Great Grandpa George Russell

Waiting for the spaghetti to get ready and for people to arrive to eat!

See I'll be good if I'm in Daddy's arms, but not if I'm in Mommy and Daddy's friend's arms.


Hey I'm getting hungry too!

Chillin' on Mommy and Daddy's bed.

Can you guess there's a window I'm looking at?


Should I be Frankenstein for Halloween?  I've been sleeping and resting like this a lot recently.

6-inch slug we saw when we went on a mini-hike (1 mile-ish).  Ryan said he's seen much bigger slugs.. gross!

Hiking with Daddy.. Matthew slept pretty much the whole time.

Hey we found the geo-cache we set out to find!

Here's Daddy getting it from under the mossy hill.

The only time Matthew opened his eyes.

See?, let me go back to sleep.

Mommy and Matthew

Matthew slept the whole way back like this, and it was very nice to have two hands still.  Unfortunately the material was just a little too short so we didn't bring it home with us.
Ps.  Matthew slept much better during the day while we were in Washington, but I think that it's because it was almost always overcast, so it was darker inside than during the day in Utah.  Needless to say, we may be investing in some good curtains for his room.
