When Emma was exactly 1 week old we had her baby blessing at our church. My parents were in town meeting the baby. Michael's parents, sister, brother and his wife were in town as well as aunts, uncles and cousins. We were so glad Emma and I were feeling up to it so we could include our loved ones who live near and far. It was was wonderful to have them all there for the special event. Michael did a wonderful job giving her a name and a blessing. Emma behaved perfectly too! She slept peacefully through the blessing, the rest of the church meeting, didn't cry (well, not until about halfway through photos outside afterwards)and didn't even spit up on her dress. Michael's grandma had made Emma's beautiful dress -- isn't it gorgeous!!
After church my family hosted a nice brunch so we could all be together before all the family had to travel home. Then I attempted to take a Sunday afternoon nap but couldn't bring myself to set my angel down when it was just her and I (Riley was napping), so we snuggled on the couch in the afternoon sun. That evening my sister Monica had us over for a wonderful dinner and it was perfect ending to a perfect day.
