darla jane's blessing day.

We were able to bless our little miss on the 3rd of July. we were initially planning on doing it at church but when she got sick we decided that it would be best to keep her away from crowds. So we got permission from the bishop at did it at home. with just nathan, my brother daniel, uncle phil and two members of the bishopric in a circle around our little one, she was giving a name and a blessing. There was such an amazing spirit in our house that day. We are thankful for darla jane in our family and thankful for the blessing of knowing that our Heavenly Father is aware of her and her situation. What an angel! and we were able to take a few family shots...

including one of Gran with about half of her great-grandchildren.

we sure love this beautiful little miss.

her dress was the same one worn by me and both of her sisters

on our blessing days...

and the blanket was made by my mom

for katelyn's blessing

and was used on the blessing days of all or our kids.
