Jed's Mom was able to come visit us for a long weekend and just left this morning (boo-hoo!). We decided to take advantage of this time with family in town and we blessed Gracie in church yesterday. It was a beautiful day and Jed gave her a lovely blessing of health, understanding, and a desire to do good, make wise choices and to stand in holy places. Of course that is a very brief summary. The kids were all excited that it was her turn for a blessing and loved having Grandma tell them all about their own special blessing days. After church we enjoyed the afternoon and evening as a family: eating good food, playing legos, sitting outside chatting and of course taking more pictures of our girl.
My Great-Aunt Kathleen was able to attend also, so both Jed and I had family at the blessing. Of course we missed having the rest of our family, but we definitely felt loved and celebrated.

Such a good baby for her pictures! She looks lovely, and I don't see her fussing in any of them. Amazing. Wish we could have been there of course to see little Gracie and hear the blessing. I'm sure it was beautiful.
Such a sweet baby and she is getting so big so quickly! We hope you are enjoying your time in CA. Miss you!!
