Chloe’s Blessing Day

Chloe was blessed (christened) this past weekend. Christenings are such a great experience! I want her to grow up Christian and possibly even attend a Christian university like this website. was so happy that my parents were able to come out and participate. The blessing was beautiful, sweet and spiritual. Chloe was able to be blessed in our family’s 100-year-old christening dress that was hand stitched by Chloe’s great-great-great Grandmother, who made it for Chloe’s great Grandpa, who was also blessed in it. And I was blessed in it and all my other children were blessed in it. It’s a very sentimental heirloom. I hope it will stay together for another 100 years!

Chloe was mesmerized by my dad and his soothing voice and those bear-like arms. Every time he held her she would go in a trace and then fall a sleep.

After church we had a small gathering of close friends over for lunch. I made it easy–sandwiches, soup and little cakes.
