A Bath and a Birthday

Here's Donald enjoying bathtime. We went in for his 2 month appointment on Tuesday and found out he's 12 lbs 11 oz and 24 1/2 inches long! He's a big boy.




Here's my birthday boy with his Dad. He had a great day and we were glad we could share the festivities with the Hunter's and Aunt Ane. We missed everyone else that couldn't be here.




Here's a not very great picture but it gives you an idea of what my hair looks like now. It is much easier to deal with. I'm waiting for Jessie, Ane, and Katie to all post pictures of their new looks after visiting Molly's salon. Thanks Molly for giving us an afternoon of style! That was so much fun.

Trip to Alaska

Hello Family. I posted some pictures of my trip to Juneau on www.sharidphotography.blogspot.com
It rained most of my time there but it was still amazingly beautiful and worth the seven airplane rides. This picture here is from the airplane and was the only sunshine I saw in the four days I spent there. All in all, a great vacation spot but Elko remains our home for the time being. I'm down with that:) I look forward to a fun summer of seeing all your beautiful faces as much as I can. Love, Shari

Conversation With Donald David

I thought you all needed some updated pictures of my almost 2 month old baby. He's still cute. Him and I were having an intense conversation this afternoon so I recorded it on film.

Here he is showing you all how big he has gotten.
Here he is saying goo with gusto!
Now he's talking about how great it is being a Blodgett and how much he loves his mommy!
He's pondering what life would be like if he ever left his mommy.
He's completely bored with the conversation and ready for his third afternoon nap!
I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Donald. I better go get him because he's waking up from his nap and screaming like a girl! Love, Sarah

Happy Birthday to Shannon!

Sorry I don't know how to put pictures in yet. Melinda has promised to teach me. The purpose of this entry is just to let Shannon know how thankful I am to be welcoming her into the family as the first of my daughter-in-laws. I don't know when I've enjoyed spending two hours more than when we sat and talked in the Salt Lake Airport. It was wonderful, to know her is to love her. It's easy to understand how she captured Donald's heart. I hope you have a super celebration. Love, Sheilah

Thank you for being our Mother!

Blodgett Kids.

We are going to go to court June 9 at 9 a.m. to finalize the adoption! I can't believe it's really going to happen. We are so excited. Love, Sarah

Alaska

So I'm taking a trip to Alaska. We don't know if we are going to move there but I suppose its a possibility. Monty and I are going up for a few days (May 14-17) for an interview. We will keep you posted...
