Blessing Day

We had the opportunity to have Ansleigh blessed this past Sunday. We are so lucky to have family in the area and loved having all of them here for it. Chelsey and Brent and their crew came down from Philly and my uncle Greg and his family drove up from Roanoke, VA. They both had about three and a half hour drives in different directions (the poor Pugh family ended up with a much longer trip due to traffic..I think we need to visit them quite a few times before they attempt DC again). We are so grateful for all of their support and really appreciated having them all here.

To me the whole day flew by, I couldn't believe it was over so fast. Ansleigh's blessing was pretty and she looked beautiful in her white dress. I am so grateful to have the Priesthood not only restored on the earth today but in my home and amongst the men in my family. It is such an amazing power and it blesses my family and my life in so many many ways.

Everything is happening so fast, I know that she is only 5 weeks old but I feel like before I know it she will be married and old. I have to enjoy and soak in all of the little moments because they are amazing.

Here are a bunch of pictures of everybody that came. Sadly, we didn't get a picture of all of the cute kids, I think there were ten total. Also, it is all posed..I think we were too distracted eating and talking to take them in action.

She is so gorgeous! I'm glad Brent and Chelsey were able to attend the blessing. I thought about you that entire day - what a blessing a new baby is in our lives. The pictures are great. I am especially touched by the one with Sarah and Ansleigh. That is a beautiful picture!
