This last Sunday, we blessed Summer during Sacrament Meeting at church by her Daddy. This is an ordinance performed for babies in the LDS church. The baby is given their name and blessed with inspired words to live their life by. My husband, along with a few of my very talented friends, performed a musical number, "Be Thou My Vision" On a gray and snowy(yes, snow in March!) day, the clouds parted and the sun shone through the big windows in the Chapel while they sang (and it happened during the blessing too) :) It was a very special day. We had friends and family come with us, then we had a family dinner at our house after church was over.
Summer was so pretty in her blessing dress. My mom had a dress for her that matches the dress Brooke was buried in. My mom worked with a friend to alter Brooke's dress to fit her tiny self. She just happened to get a set of two, when she bought them over 10 years ago (anticipating granddaughters :))...amazing how those things work out. Brooke was given this beautiful afghan from the NICU at Seattle Children's Hospital. It was donated by a generous organization called Project Linus. Summer loves it...being cuddled by her guardian angel :) It was a special way to honor both the girls.
