Blessing Day

Two Sundays ago, September 2nd, 2012 Race and I were able to bless our sweet baby girl. Race did a wonderful job blessing Holland and he didn't change her name! I was a little worried that he might. It was a busy day with TONS of family in town. Holland got to meet all but one of her cousins and lots of Aunts, Uncles, and even some Great Aunts and Uncles. Her blessing dress was made by her Great Aunt Sage and she looked beautiful in it! Here are some pictures of the day!

Now, two Sundays later we are in Idaho living with Race's sister Tyne and brother-in-law Patrick and their cute daughter Madison and dog Tuck. We are on an adventure! I'll update more on that later. And look forward to a giveaway from modestpop.com coming soon!

  2. Had he been thinking about calling her something different? In my ward, the man totally said the wrong name when blessing his child and re-started. I had never seen anything like it :)

    I love these pictures...they are so good!
