Ella Claire was blessed by her dad yesterday in church. The blessing was lovely. One thing I really noticed was that he blessed her with peace. In other less formal blessings that he has given her he has mentioned that too. What a wonderful thing to be blessed to have in your life. She also was blessed with many other promises, and they were wonderful. But my mind kept coming back to the blessing of peace.We were able to see lots of friends and family for the blessing too. That is always really enjoyable. The kids had a lot of fun with friends and cousins at the lunch and Ella slept through most of it. She was nice enough to pose for some pictures for me in the morning though.
Oh! I was really impressed with us though! Church started at 9 am and we got all the kids ready and dressed and Ella got her pictures taken and we still got there MOSTLY on time. We just missed like half of a verse of the opening hymn. Go us! There is always some question on how early we will get to church when it is 9 am church. But it is a little easier towards the end of 9 am church than it was for the 2:30 church we had most of the year thus far.

What a beautiful picture of Ella. I love the soft focus or lighting on the dress. The blessing was wonderful. Thanks for having us for lunch.
Ella looks so beautiful in her blessing dress. So sad we couldn't be there!
