Blessing day

* There is another new post beneath this post. *

T blessed Pippa on November 4th.  He did a great job and didn't let Pippa's crying throw him off.  I felt bad that Pippa was crying.  She is usually SUCH a good baby.  She was fussing a bit at church before it was time for T to bless her and I tried to feed her a bit, but she wasn't having it. C'est la vie.  It was still very special.

Now some photos!

T's Aunt S came up from southern Virginia.  It was so sweet of her to make the drive.  It was great that T and I both had one family member there to support us (my dad was also there).  (Not that our families don't love and support us, they just all live so far away!)

Outside the chapel.  It was COLD!


The three of us at home, inside where it was warm.  I don't think Pippa has figured out how to smile and pose for the camera yet...

Pippa's headband was made by one of my college besties E.  The dress is from T's dad's family.  Many babies have been blessed in this dress.  The name of the babies and the date they were blessed are embroidered around the bottom of the slip.  We are so glad that T's grandma let us use this dress for Pippa.

Oh, an interesting note:  When the bishop was announcing the baby blessing and the parents of the baby he called me by my mom's name and didn't even catch his mistake.  Oops!
