Eden's Blessing and First Smiles!


The girls' room!


Smiling at Dad
Tim's Mom came to help me out.  She reorganized our closets and kitchen, put together three new shelves and a crib, and rearranged London's room to make room for Eden, all while helping me take care of the girls.  What a workhorse!  I wanted to do before and after pics of the closets, but she had them done before I could!  Thanks, Mom!
Love that smile!

Sisters!



We had a brunch following the blessing for our guests.  I had the bright idea to stencil an "e" on the brownies in honor of Eden.

Tim gave a beautiful blessing for our Eden Rose.  He blessed her with strength of character and a sound mind, and that just as the garden of Eden was a place of luxury and delight for our first parents, she would be a luxury and delight to those around her.

This is a great post. I love the girls' room, it looks so... girly:) The "e" on the brownies were a nice touch- Martha Stewart would be proud. Both of your girls are so beautiful- I am so happy for you.

Tim's mom ROCKS!! I want to be that kind of mom! Your girls picture together. . . couldn't be cuter. It just makes you want to squeeze them! AND, the brownies? Seriously, I am happy that there is food in the house for the first 3 mo. It looked beautiful!!

Beautiful girls! Don't you love when moms come to visit. My house always seems to be better organized after my mom leaves. Where did you get the girls bookcases?

Jen you seem to just have it all together - you make it look so EASY to have two babies, get yourself ready & look fabulous, put on a impeccable luncheon, and keep a smile on your face! Wow! I love the nursery - sooooo cute! (I hope the book helps - I know it's not for every mom, or baby for that matter)Eden is changing so much already! Love ya tons!!!

I loved this post! I was sad to miss the blessing but I figured the nursery didn't need a sick little boy in attendance. The luncheon looked fabulous! Great job Jen. And your girls are too darling.
