Newest Grandbaby.

Lydia Ann Petroff was born Thursday, September 12 ,2013, at 10:51 pm.  She weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces and is 19 inches long.  Those are the same measurements that her daddy Steven had when he was born September 18, 1984.  She has medium brown hair.  She is very adorable and is an easy going baby.  So nice for Steven and Anarie to have after dealing with so many health issues with Eliana. Speaking of Eliana she is so happy to have a new baby sister.  We went up to see them at their home in Plain City, Utah on Sunday September 15.

Happily taking it easy.

Evy's Blessing Day

Anthony and Trudy chose Sunday, September 1, 2013 to bless Evy.  They decided that since they lived so far away in Nevada that they would bless her in our previous ward in Richmond.  It made it easier for Trudy's brothers and sisters to make it to the blessing.  They got permission from the Richmond Third Ward Bishop, Brad Jensen, to bless her there. Anthony with his Dad and brothers and Trudy's brothers and brother in laws stood in the circle.  Anthony pronounced a nice blessing for her.  He got a little emotional giving the blessing.  He does that when it comes to special moments.  All the family gathered at the Pavilion at the Richmond City park, which is right by the stake center.  That made it easier than trying to fit all of us in Tom and Elise's house.

Getting ready for the big day.

Being silly.

Grandma and Evy.  I love how she is poised while sleeping.

It's been a long day.

Yeah! It's over.
