My Blessing Day

On February 22nd Lorilyn was blessed by her dad in church. It was an incredible experience, with so much support from a wonderful family. The dress she has on was made by Momma Jigs, and she just looked like an angel. Stephen and Kori and their family came into town for the event and we had a couple wonderful days with them. Lynette and Megan surprised me and came in town Saturday and stayed until Monday. We had almost all the family there, including Ryan's parents and grandparents. All together I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Me and LJ before her blessing. She couldn't fit in her car seat with the dress on so we went in the mother's lounge before church and got her ready.

Daddy and his little angel after the blessing. Ryan really did do an amazing job and gave her an incredible blessing. There was such a special spirit surrounding the event, it was just wonderful.

Me and Lynette. I was so happy that she was able to join us here and it was wonderful having her at the house for a few days. Thanks for all the great motherly advise! Both she and Kori are such incredible examples of mother's for me, I feel so grateful!

The whole clan who came to the blessing. Thank you everyone for the support! Thank you so much Steve and Kori for driving here and being here for us. We had such a wonderful weekend and can't wait till we get to spend more time together!
