Blessing day

Today Paul gave Ruth a name and blessing in our church. Only 10 days old. Our Papa and Gigi are in town this weekend and we wanted to share this special day with family. Today was a super special day for three reasons:

1. Papa was able to participate in Ruth's blessing. Paul gave a very precious blessing. It was smooth and calm. The moment he started speaking I was overwhelmed with a sense of peace. A peace and warmth from the spirit. I am so thankful to be a mother.

2. Ruth wore MY blessing dress that my mom made for me. It fit her perfect, I am thrilled to be able to pass on this dress that means so much to me.

3. Today was the first Sunday back in our renovated building. We have a real Mormon church with a Relief Society room, a mother's room, cultural hall and more classrooms with windows!!

What a sweet experience. Ruth looks so precious! I'm glad your parents were able to be there. I'm sure they loved seeing Eden and David again and getting to meet Ruth!

Oh Cynd,...she's beautiful! I LOVE her hair! What a lucky momma you are. I think it's so neat that you were able to pass on your blessing dress. Did Eden wear it too?

Wow!! I've been a slacker at checkin' blogs...and I am so glad to see you've done so many posts!! It was so fun to see some more pictures of Ruthie! She looks so cute...and a lot like Paul, I think. Just Darling! I can't wait to hear more about how Eden and David are doing?? It sure seems like Eden is just a doting little mommy! Is David still uninterested?
