Hope's Blessing


For those of you unable to attend Hope's blessing, we wanted you to share with you what was said. Also, those of you that were in attendance, we wanted to give you an opportunity to know what was said. You see, there was a little mishap with the microphone--no one but those in the circle were able to hear it! It was frustrating at the time, but because of it, we think we got the whole blessing on paper. Craig asked everyone that was in the circle to write what they remembered, then Craig typed up what he remembered and compiled it all. If you would like a copy, email me and I will send it to you. If you don't have my email address, leave a comment with your email address, and I'll send you one.

I took these pictures of Hope just today. I was afraid she was going to grow out of her blessing dress that my mom crocheted during the 9 months of my pregnancy. So I squeezed her into it--it barley went on. Well, when it was time to take it off it wouldn't come. Needless to say, she spent the whole afternoon in her blessing dress. She took a nap, ate her dinner, got good and happy before the torturous event. It finally came off, the poor thing. She was a good sport, thanks Hope!

Wow! I can't believe your mom made that dress! It is amazing! I wish I would have known you were blessing Hope in Santa Clara. My parents said it was awesome. Don't worry, I gave them the guilt trip for not letting me know. Oh, well.
It looks like things are going well for you! I'm so glad. You & Craig are such an awesome couple. Love ya!
