Last weekend was Hadley's baby blessing. It was absolutely amazing, made even more great by all the family that came from out of town. We were originally going to have the blessing in Utah, but we were just down there for Grandma Allen's funeral and we thought it might be hard on Hadley to travel again so soon. Laurie and Justin and their family and my brother Scott and his oldest daughter Athena all came from Utah and it was fantastic having them here. Most of Levi's immediate family was there too and it was great to share this special day with them.
Hadley looked amazing in her little gown and she was an angel throughout the whole thing. Justin performed the blessing and, amongst other things, blessed her that she would always be a friend to those needing a friend, that she would be a quick learner, and that she would be a sweet, calm presence in our house.
After the blessing we had a picnic in a park and enjoyed the nice weather.
It was such a neat day and you could feel Hadley's sweet spirit and feel all the love in that room for her. I hope I can always remember what was said and tell her about it when she's older. She is so amazing and I can't believe how blessed we are to have her.
Thanks again to everyone who made the journey, it was incredible.
