Hospital pop-ins

Below is a bunch of pics of folks who came to the hospital to visit Hudson. Rachel has some great ones of Jessie, who helped us through the birth, and of Jessie's mother-in-law, Jill, but I don't have those yet (as soon as I get them, I'll update this post). Otherwise, I think all are accounted for.

Merry, Conwey's awesome kid sister. Before Hudson was born, she gave Rachel a nice list of names to consider, including Jaffy, Sammy,

Cousin Jackson -- a couple of handsome devils here, no?

Cousin Hunter. I'd call him a handsome devil, too, but he's more like a handsome monster. He's not yet 16 and he's bigger than I was my senior year in high school. He'll take good care of his little cousin.

Aunt Becca! We were so glad she came out here for the summer from BYU. She's been a big help since Hudson was born.

Julie, a mutual friend of Jessie's and Rachel's. And there's Hudson, working on his Blue Steel look.

Brian was so anxious to see Hudson, he didn't mind coming all the way to the hospital knowing he would probably only be able to see him for just a few minutes in the hallway (since Rachel was asleep). I'm glad his shirt matched the painting, by the way, and you can tell he is, too.

Rob, a good friend of ours, holding Hudson; and Mike, in the background, also a good friend of ours -- perhaps an even better friend, since he at least had the decency to practice his baby-holding form before picking up Hudson.

Mike!
