Shirley's Blessing

What a wonderful day! The week leading up was quite fun for me. The week before was Ansley's Birthday and her Big Birthday party, so this week we got to focus on Shirley and her life. Can you believe 2 months has already passed?!? I can't she has grown up so fast, she is such a beautiful girl, and still so happy. Each day my love for her grows more and more! The priesthood ordinance of giving a baby a name & a blessing is one of my favorites. Something so special, sacred, and individual. Leading up to the blessing Brady is always nervous, not nervous for speaking in front of everyone, but nervous to know what Heavenly Father wants him to bless his daughter with. He did such a great job! The blessings he bestowed upon her are priceless! And giving her a name... the name of my Grandma Shirley whom I love so dear, and Brady's Grandpa Winter who holds a special place in his heart. We hope that she takes all of their wonderful qualities and weaves them into her own individual personality. I made Shirley her own blessing dress, just like I did for Ansley, so that she can have her own heirloom to pass on to her own daughters. I LOVE Shirley's dress!!! I added a touch of pink and it made it perfect! We had so many friends and family there to share in our joyous occasion, and we are so grateful for each and every one of them in our lives. I was hoping to get her pictures this week, but Brady caught the swine flu!!!
