Our sweet Eve received her baby blessing at church on September 23rd.

Several members of our extended family came into town, and the love and support we felt from them was immeasurable. At times, the love that comes with family ties seems almost tangible, and as we stood, surrounded by many of the people we love most in this world, that is exactly what we experienced. I know just how much each of my daughters is cherished by our families, as well as our God. There is no shortage of love here, that’s for certain.

As always, I couldn’t narrow down the photos from this special day, so there are a lot. Really though, who can have too many cute baby photos?That little tongue!She just looked so excited here!
Grandma Gina made her dress, headband, and booties. They were so perfect, and I’m grateful for her talents and ability to make these precious gifts for her grandchildren. It was fun for me, too, because I got to choose exactly how I wanted each piece of the dress to look. Evie’s blanket was made by me.
Those slightly-ruffled sleeves on chubby baby arms… melt my heart.Her little profile! Even the back of the dress was beautiful!Someone was very sleepy by the time I finished her photos… I’m so so grateful for all these amazing people.Of course, we had to get silly for one of these group pictures.She has some amazing grandmothers to look to as examples. We had everyone come back to the house for some lunch (homemade sub sandwiches) before they all had to drive several hours home. We had a full house, and so were our hearts. It truly was one of the best Sundays.I love you, Eve!
