Rachel's Blessing

Due to Teresa's mom being in town we decided to have Rachel's Baby Blessing earlier than we first thought. We are glad we did that though because it would have been a shame not have her mom here for it. With that said Rachel was blessed on February 17 in our house. Our Bishop and First Councilor participated along with our Home Teacher and my Father. We had heard about doing the belssing at home and we are glad that we made that choice. It was nice to have family there and to be able to not have the preassure of having a microphone in your face in front of 300 people. Of course it was very quiet in the house during the blessing and the spirit was very strong. We also liked that afterward all our family stayed after to have dinner and spend time with Rachel. Teresa's mom made her blessing dress and Rachel did fantastic the whole time...not even a peep...just looked around and smiled.

Teresa, Rachel is so beautiful! And you look fantastic! The dress your mom made is so pretty and will be such an amazing heirloom. Enjoy her! She's going to get big so fast!

What a beautiful dress! Nice job, Sherry. Rachel is SUCH a cutie pie! She looks so peaceful too. We're doing Rocklin's blessing at home this Sunday as well. I'm glad to hear ya'lls went well...we're looking forward to having it at home; a little more of a special setting than doing it at a chapel filled with tons of people.

Congrats! We found your blog on Rachel's after she found ours. How fun that we found your blog at the fun baby time! She is so beautiful! We are jealous of all the hair she already has. We had baldies. We are excited for you both. You will be great parents. Hope you don't mind that we snuck a peek on your blog.

Love, Bethany

The dress makes her look like the angel at the top of a christmas tree!
