This post is going to be pretty disjointed, so bare with me.
Today we blessed Asher. It was a pretty low-key event, which is what we wanted. The best part, other than the blessing, was that Ash didn't cry and saved spitting up until we got his bib back in place! His buddy Reed was also blessed today. Last week we tried to have a photos shoot of the two boys and here was the best I could do.
I would also like say thanks for everyone who left a comment about baby gas. All of your ideas were sooo helpful! I think we've got a system now that keeps it pretty under control and gives us a happier baby. Here's the latest picture of our little clan.
Yesterday I read the last installment of the Twilight series. I know that a lot of people really like this series. For me, I just needed to have closure. Kind of like how I've read the dragon books, (Eragon and Eldest) I really dislike them, but I'll read the third one just to see how it finishes. Breaking Dawn was a fine book, if a little predictable. Perhaps I've just need to enjoy reading or watching movies as they go along instead of trying to work out the endings way before they happen. The Young Women in my ward love this series because of the romance. I found the romance in this edition a little mature for the YA crowd. Anyone who reads this is free to disagree with me. I'm not really uptight about sexuality or anything, I was just a little caught off guard with where the story went in that direction. There was nothing explicit but I was left feeling uneasy. The girls I work with at church and at work already have unrealistic expectations about relationships and I found myself feeling this would just fuel those expectations even further. However, figuring out that life isn't what you've always seen portrayed in the media is a rite of passage.
