more silliness
Arrrg! Pirate Jared makes appearances daily at our house.
Kendra will appreciate the "stink eye" we caught on camera here.
Classic kid picture...McKayden, McDreamy and McScreamy
Oooo, Laura's favorite silly look, the pursed lips! I guess I didn't help the situation with the silly hat and silly gloves (but hey, her nails are very sharp).

Laura's Blessing Gown
My wonderful friend, Tiffney, made this beautiful ivory blessing gown and matching bonnet by hand and gave it to us as a gift for Laura. It is gorgeous! She found perfect organic fabrics up in the Bay Area, with super-soft silky liner for baby's comfort. Laura slept peacefully during the blessing (phew!). I plan to do more photographs in better lighting of Laura in this dress and the bonnet next month; our day passed too quickly for me to spend the time I would like taking photos of her. It's not often you get to dress up in a special outfit made by a special person for a special day!
Isn't it beautiful? I am very impressed with Tiff's talents and her generous heart. Thank you!
My favorite part of this morning, besides the beautiful words of Tom's blessing for Laura, was how happy and proud he looked when he held her up to show the congregation. I know it's an unofficial tradition to do the "baby show", but it was so touching to see how carefully he was holding her and how proud he looked. He loves his babies so much and I love that about him!

Special 3 Generation Trip
For Jared's fourth birthday, Tom and his dad, Don, took Jared on a special train trip to the San Diego Zoo. This was especially touching since Don took Tom on the same train trip when TOM turned four years old -- and we have pictures of that trip in a little notebook from 1983.
Jared came home raving about the "gondo-wa!" (the gondola ride) that took him high above houses and the zoo. The tiger was another hit -- he came right up to the glass where Jared was standing. Usually they're just sleeping far off in the corner, so Jared got a great view!

New Address
Kenneth was transferred from Baytown, TX, where he had been serving these past months; he is now serving in "mini-Mexico" in downtown Houston! He says some areas nearby are definitely not safe ones, but they are meeting great people there who are anxious to improve their lives.
He was just asked to be the District Leader, which is thrilling and a lot of responsibility.
Elder Kenneth Price

Laura and Bobo

This is why you have to be quick with the camera...
Two seconds later...Waaahh!

Big milestones: umbilical cord fell off (day 5), pooped (day 2 and day 6)
Favorite sleeping spot: Tom's chest
Favorite sound: Jared playing right next to her as she sleeps, Pride & Prejudice movie piano music (Beethoven)
Still sleeps heavily during the day and is awake from 2am-6am (Mom and Dad are taking shifts now).
She smells really good. Jared still thinks she is "cute" and said today, "I want to be a baby again."

Too much info
Where is baby Pearson? Well, if she does not make her grand entrance into the world before this weekend, we will be helping her along a little bit at 7:00pm Saturday night. We hope this means we will have a new baby in our arms by Sunday, January 11th at the latest. My tummy skin is grateful to have a goal in sight. Both mom and baby are healthy andbaby is happily head-down. This will be fun (well, as fun as a birth can be)! We'll let everyone know via phone when we have news to share.
