Grace's blessing day

Today our Grace was given a name and a blessing by her dad. 
It was one of the sweetest days I have ever experienced. Not only was the
blessing beautiful and our girl so very darling, but having family there meant a
lot to us. Living away from family for so many years, we haven't experienced
a day like today for a long time. Grace is so very loved. We are so grateful.

This is the blessing dress that I wore when I was a baby and our Annie wore
on her blessing day. Annie and I loved dressing Grace this morning before we
went to church. I love that each of our children have been blessed in an outfit
that has been around for decades and that is extremely meaningful to us.
