Madison's Blessing Day!

So even though Madison wasn't quite two weeks old we went ahead and had her baby blessing on Sunday May 23rd at church. This was the only weekend Blair was going to be here. So, thanks to my dad's suggestion we decided to get her blessed. We were lucky that most of our families were able to accomodate our last minute plans and make it for Madison's blessing. We had a small lunch afterwards with just the immediate family and it was nice to see everyone and let them have a chance to see the new baby.

Madison is wearing the same dress that I blessed Cassidy in.
I think it probably fit Madison a little better since she is almost twice the size Cassidy was. Well theres no hiding the fact that we just absolutely adore our new little addition. Blair did such a wonderful job with her blessing. I always love to see Blair exercising his Priesthood. It just makes me proud to be married to such a good man. What a precious little girl!

Just wanted to post some pics of everyone in the family taking turns holding the new baby. Heres Daddy and Mommy each holding baby Madison.

Cassidy and Statton absolutely love her! We never brought the kids to the hospital to see her so the first time they saw the baby was when I came home from the hospital. All they wanted to do was to hold the baby and they didn't stop asking all night. They even woke up at 5a.m. that next morning asking where the baby was and if they could hold her. They are pretty cute with her and always giving her kisses.

I can't believe that we have 3 kids. I hope I can handle the chaos of 3 kids under the age of 2. It's been so nice having Blair to help run interference with Cassidy and Statton so I can concentrate on Madison. It might get super interesting once he has to go back to work. Thanks to Carla and Lynn for watching the kids for us for a few days while I was in the hospital.

What a cute bunch of kids!

Introducing Madison Heward

Well we finally had our little baby girl! She was born monday 4 seconds after midnight which puts her birthday on tuesday, May 11th. I went into the hospital monday night at 8:00 and had her 4 hours later. She weighed 7 lbs 15 ounces and was 20 inches long. After a day and half of deliberation we finally decided to name her Madison.

Wow look at those cute cheekers!
