Baby Blessing

Isabelle was blessed this last weekend in Utah.

Frank got to go out there for a little visit to meet Isabelle and be a part of this special occasion.

Here is a picture from his first meeting

Looks like Isabelle has grown a ton!

The blessing dress looked very cute on her.

I sure am thankful to my awesome mother in law, Janice, for making it!

I sent her my wedding dress and she used the fabric and lace to make a lovely little dress.

She even used the original hem from my dress!  I painstakingly (if imperfectly) sewed little pearls along the hem of my wedding dress.

My in-laws drove from Oregon to be there

And my parents came too (but didn't stay for pictures...sad).

Plus my brother and two sisters and their families also came to be a part of this special day also.

They all live close

Amber's family also lives in the same town so they were there too.

I hope Frank took lots of pictures that I will see/share when he gets home.

For now, here are a few that he texted to me.

(just gotta love the socks on her hands!  I did that all the time too)

 Another one of Daddy Branden.  Isabelle looks like she's talking in this one.

The family!
