A name and a blessing

Yesterday Matt blessed Kate in church. It was such a beautiful blessing. I am so grateful for my cute husband and adorable little girl! It was such a beautiful day and everything went perfectly! We had a brunch and got to spend time with our families after church.

The Taylors were all in town for a reunion, so it worked out perfect to have them here for the blessing. Matt's grandparents were also able to come.

The Bewsey Family (just missing Dave, and little Carter that was napping)


Kate's Great Grantparents, Aunt Karen and Uncle Michael, along with her second cousins: Kim, Kevin, Deanna, Steph and Jon all come to her blessing! Her other great aunts and uncles were able to come to the brunch after.

Four years ago when I was in Europe I saw this blessing gown in Florence, Italy and new I had to have it for my future daughter. It was such a random thing to do when I was 19, but I am so happy I did! It fit her perfectly and was so pretty!

What a sweet post! You look so good, oh man I'm jealous! I love that you bought her that dress in Italy. I bought books for my future kids when I studied in London! A blessing dress is way better.

What perfect timing that Kate had her blessing while the family reunion was going on. That's so great that you thought so far in advance about getting a dress for Kate, it is absolutely gorgeous, and even more special since it's from Italy years ago! You're an awesome mom Ani!

Hey, I was in Europe a few weeks ago and bought some "little people clothes" as my husband calls them, and I remembered how you bought that dress. I thought it was so cool that you'll get to use it now. I think you 3 make a cute family and am glad that things are going well for you!
