I'm an Aunt!


The day has finally arrived! My sister, Emily, gave birth to Ryan Craig Larson on Wednesday, May 20th, at 9 pm. He's a beautiful baby. We had a delayed introduction, because Elliot was sick. But yesterday and today, we have spent many hours with the new mom and baby.

My mom and Carrie are staying with Emily and Craig in Denver. Bryan and Jared came from BYU for Memorial Day and stayed with us for a few days. We've had a good time seeing them and being together as a family (minus my dad -- the poor guy has to work while we have all the fun).

So here's some pictures! By the way, I've been awful at chronicling important events, like Dottie's Joy School Graduation. My mom was the smart one and remembered her camera. I'll steal some of her images and post them.

Here he is! His face is a little chappy from nursing so much. You know, those newborns . . . they could eat all day if you let them.
This is from the hospital; I wasn't there, but Craig, of course took pictures. He constantly has his little tongue out!

Dottie was Em's little helper today. She spent the whole day with her, getting whatever she needed. I'm wondering why she isn't that way with Elliot anymore?

Classic Carrie pose. As usual, she's adorable.

Elliot and Daddy. Note the bald head. Joe did that to himself one night while I was sleeping. Needless to say, I wasn't a happy wife in the morning.

Someone's in the kitchen with Jared . . .

We were preparing an early Memorial Day feast. That's why there are so many pics in the kitchen.
My mischief maker.


These are two pictures that were just on my camera from about a week ago. Elliot LOVES to say goodnight to Dottie. He always wants to stay in the bed with her, but something tells me neither one of them would get much sleep.
