Lily's Blessing

We were so lucky to have my parents here for Lily's blessing! We had a fun week with them - including a road trip to Mississippi for a family reunion. Erik did a beautiful job with the blessing. It was appropriate that it was on pioneer day - Lily is a pioneer in our family: born earliest, weighed least, slept through the night soonest.

Papa LOVES to brush Grace's hair.

If you know my mom, you know that she went all out preparing for the reunion. We had a fun time putting together the prize baskets.

What are the odds we'd get to spend my mom's birthday with her, too! The big 50. My siblings and I gave her 50 presents and a book called "50 Things We Love about Mom." So fun.
