A Name and a Blessing

We blessed sweet Hannah on Sunday. Unlike when Megan was blessed in Alabama, we had tons of family who were able to come for this special day. We had a big dinner afterward and it was so great to have everyone here. Doesn't she look radiant?

My amazing seamstress of a mother made the dress. I love it. It is so exquisite and dainty and feminine. She made it for Emily's blessing, and all my girls have worn it. Two of their cousins have as well.

Some family photos.


With Grandma. Without her we couldn't have pulled the day off.

Another Cloudy Day, Another Bribe, Another Photoshoot

You see, I'm trying to get new pictures to hang on our family room wall to replace the ones that are woefully out-dated. We took them almost a year and a half ago. So, I gave it another shot last week. I think most turned out nicely.

Here are the black and whites. I've decided I REALLY like black and white photography.
