Claire's Blessing

we blessed claire at church this past sunday. it was a special day. she wore a blessing dress that was hand sewn by grandma goulding. it is so beautiful. her cousin sailor was blessed in the same dress 6 years ago, and her new baby cousin kristen will be blessed in it in october (they are only a week apart). so sweet. it was great to have my family (who are not lds) come to church with us. i hope they enjoyed it. i am sure they did.

family. not everyone could make it. they all had good reasons...swine flu (yes, really), mission (in iowa), new baby, etc. we sure missed them though.

claire & mommy. i love the pout she is doing with her lips.


I was so sad that I didn't get any pictures of claire by herself in the blessing dress. I am hoping that grandma goulding will let us borrow it in october, after kristen is blessed so that we can do that:) What do you think grandma?

Love the pouty lips! And your hair looks great, by the way.

I love her lips!! She is practicing her blue steel!! I'm so sad we missed her special day. We forgot to take pictures of just Sailor in the dress on her blessing day too. I did portraits of her a month later in it. And we need a picture of all the 09 babies together.

Yes, Claire can borrow the dress again in October. Maybe by then it will fit. No, the picture of you is great Jillian, the one that looks bad is of me and my double, I mean triple chins. A CURSE!

I forgot to take pictures of Gabriel's blessing too. I'm kicking myself because it only happens once!
