Baby Jane's Blessing

Our first family photo... aww... Jane is only 9 days old in this picture, but we wanted to have her blessed when my family was in town. It was really fun to have everyone here and be apart of this special day.
Here is Jane, lookin' pretty :) Her blessing dress is very special to me and will one day be very special to her. A couple weeks before my mom made the trip out here I asked her if she would make Jane a blessing dress. Well, not only did my mom make this dress, but she made it out of her wedding dress!!! Isn't that amazing. I was looking at the dress when she first handed it to me and was like "hmm... mom, is this new fabric?" and she was like, kinda. Anyways, I guessed right away. I can't believe she cut up her wedding dress (which she also made) to make Jane a dress. I just think that is way cool and very special. THANKS MOM!
Here is a group shot of everyone that came to visit. (except my mother who so kindly stayed home with me and Jane) Zach took them on a hike up in Boulder. They all said the hike was beautiful and I can't wait until I can make the trip. In the photo: Phillip, Zach, Summer, Dad, Valerie, Chad, Jaedyn, and Angela. Unfortunately Valerie's husband couldn't make the trip. (He is taking 19 credits this semester... woah) And my oldest brother and his family weren't able to make it either. Regardless, I am SO happy that the family that did make it was able to come. I wasn't that much fun because I was still recovering, but I had a lot of fun having everyone here. Thanks guys for making the trip!
