Elsie shared her day today with a little angel in the neighborhood. They live behind us and we just love the family. I know that Elsie and Paige will be the best of friends being so close and all. It was fun to get picutures of the two girls.
Today was Elsie's big day. She looked so pretty in her blessing dress. Jeron was telling me that when he got her dressed this morning that he thought she looked so beautiful. He got a little choked up thinking about what was about to take place. He said it was a really sweet moment that the two of them shared. He did a wonderful job on her blessing. I think it is one of the sweetest things when a Daddy gets up and blesses his baby. Even sweeter is when Jeron says the name of our children...he always cries. I love that moment. I always hope that he will cry when he says their name because then I know that it is the "right" name. He cried when he said Elsie's name...this made me smile. The blessing was beautiful. I even have a copy of it because a woman in my ward wrote it down. She is the best!
The day turned out to be a really nice one. We had a lot of family and friends come by. I love it when we have these kind of things because then I get to see all the people who mean so much to me. I really felt the absense of the ones who didn't come. THere was a couple of times that I got choked up thinking about them. We missed you dearly and were thinking about you.

Those are some good lookin families! Wish we could have been there. Thanks for putting that Depeche Mode song on your blog - I haven't heard that song since high school but I really love it! I was glad to hear it again.
Thanks for posting so many fun pictures! I still feel bad that we missed it, but I'm glad that it went well. I can't get over how big and beautiful Elsie's eyes are.
Elsie looks so happy! You can tell she loves her family as much as they love her!!! Sorry I missed the gathering, but we did make it for the blessing (in the hall). I know what you mean by Jeron getting choked up, only it doesn't make me smile - it makes me want to join in the tears!
Wow, Elsie is so pretty! I love her big eyes in all her sibling pictures. Congrats on the beautiful day. I agree baby blessings are very tender moments between father and child that we are lucky enough to get to observe!
It was a beautiful blessing...and I'm glad I could participate and know your family. Your one of a kind. Love you guys!
