Fall flowers + baby

It's officially fall and the weather has really cooled down, especially at night.  We've had so many visitors coming to meet our baby, Elijah.  Everyday last week at least one friend came over, to take the big boys out for an activity, or to bring a meal or help me tidy, wash dishes, etc. 
Monday, one of the nuns came over with these sunflowers + zinnia.  She sat with us and had a cup of cider that Rob and the boys pressed Sat.

My cousin's wife knit these socks!  She also sewed some flannel blankets and burp clothes, this one below is my fav - has farm animals on it.

A friend, who has a sheep farm, gave us this swing and a few hand knit items as a gift.
Father Theodore, the monk from Scotland, did the 8th day naming prayers.  Paul is helping by holding the prayer book, while Father holds Elijah.  He will also do his baptism next month.
Just missing Hannah and Olivia to have a family photo.

    Everyone looks so well and happy! You look so good!! And Elijah is just perfect, I love the picture of him laying on his tummy. It’s so wonderful you have such a loving community to raise your family in.

    Oooh, it's so sweet to see pictures of baby Elijah and gifts. And your family picture (while minus your girls) is very sweet with you and all your boys. You look very well, Martha. A beautiful mama.
