Blessing


We recently blessed Brenna at our church and it turned out to be a really nice day. We had great family support and good food was enjoyed by all. The baby's dress was finished with a day to spare so she didn't have to go in just a onesie and I felt good about that!
Dave did a great job on the blessing and told our little sweetie that she has made so many people happy in her short time here and it is so true! I wasn't too worried about her survival around the housewith her older siblings, thinking Katelee would be sweet and motherly (which has been true with one exception when she smacked her stomach with super strength), and I thought surely Grant will have out grown his dangerous habits he had when Katelee was new. Well, there have been no intentional homicidal attempts on his part; however, he is still constantly told to stay away from the baby because he is always in her face, making her punch herself, putting diapers on her head, face, etc, trying to carry her. She tenses when he gets close but we are working on it!

At the conclusion of the day, we asked Brenna how she felt everything went and this is what she had to say:

I was feeding Jasmyn when I played the video of Brenna "talking". As soon as Jasmyn heard Brenna;s voice she turned to the computer and started "talking" back with a huge smile. It was so cute.

What a priceless video--so vocal. I love it. The family pic is great as well. Love the previous post as well about missing the not so fun moments of being a mom. I need to remember that as I deal with my day to day battles against an almost two year old--exhausting!
The pictures are so sweet. Glad it was a good day!

I love that dress!! I had the most AMAZING friend make one just like it for my Shelby to be blessed in. I will love you forever for that!! (not even kidding)
Brenna looks like like your family... ADORABLE!!! I love that video too.

Kara said...

Yes I made her dress. Crocheting is the only craft I am somewhat capable of! I had made a different pattern for Katelee, but, Amber, this is the same one as Shelby's.

That dress was absolutely beautiful. Did you make it? She is so adorable!! I love when they talk like that. I miss those times to some extent, but I am definitely out of the baby business. I will wait on the grandchildren but still quite a few more years before that. Glad the blessing went well!! You guys look great. Love you!!
