Melissa, Andy and the kids' Blog

Hannah wrapped up after a bath, looking a little confused. Finley waiting his turn for a bath, looking confused. Finley posy bath, still confused. The kids had to get ultrasounds on their hips at 6 weeks old.  Finley had a little click/pop and Hannah was a breech female.  We had to take them to Primary Children's for the ultrasound. The machine turned off and we had to wait.  While talking with the ultrasound tech we told her that we worried we'd get back to Blanding and learn that we had to come back because of a bad film or a problem.  She jumped up and promised to find a radiologist to read the scan before we left the hospital.  She did, they were both fine and we didn't have to come back.   That weekend was Jonathan's ordination as a priest so we went to his building for that. Marissa was healthy so she got to hold the babies.  Jeanette finally got to meet them. After coming home Fred and Revina Talker sent their birt...

Life was tough after the first bunch of home helpers left.  Melissa had her hands (and chin) full. Everyone came back for the blessings the first weekend of May, 2016. Great grandma Flick with Hannah and Grandma Workman with Finley. Grandpa Aurich with Hannah and Trisha patiently waiting for a baby. Some of us got a little bit of cabin fever and hit the trails.  Since Heather doesn't own winter clothing anymore, after too many years in Texas and Arizona, she borrowed some coveralls. It was May, but it was a cold weekend. Riding the trail behind West Water. Josh, Heather and Indy. Andy and Adi. Great aunt Tracy and Hannah. Aunt Bubbis and Finley. The twins enjoyed some bonding time with their soon to come cousin Colt. After the blessing with Melissa's clan. Bayless family with the tiny white monsters. Everyone Heather, the baby thief. Granddad, dad and twins. Granddad, nana and our immediate family. Melissa's gen...

  Chris and Bill drove to Blanding to spend a week with us after we got out of the hospital.  They arrived just 2-3 days after we got home from the hospital/Nana's house. It was a fun week with projects, cooking and a little extra sleep. Baths at home with Grandma. Melissa, Hannah and Grandma. Warming up after the bath. Now it is mom and dad's turn with the Finster. He survived! Double snuggles! After so many grandbabies still exploring uncharted territories. Hannah always had a bit of an attitude. Ready for their first day of church, 4/10/2016. They made it through sacrament meeting before heading home. Church was exhausting, so naps with stories got them through the rest of the afternoon. Nana arrived just a few hours after Grandma and Grandpa Workman left. Also a double snuggle newbie, she loved it.  She stayed a few days with us.  She brought treats and cooked and helped us with a little more sleep, again.  We also...
