Flash back to 4 months ago....
Wake up early Sunday morning, exhausted and groggy from being up all night feeding Sophie. Started my morning routine of pumping, dressing Sam, making breakfast, cleaning up a major blow out (thankfully not on Sophie's white dress) all while frantically looking for a dress that fit my post partum body. Bleh. Eventually making our way out the door just in time to make it to church for Sophie's blessing...
Even though the morning was chaotic, as soon as we sat down in the pew, I looked at my little girl dressed in white, and the rest of my family sitting next to me, and a sense of peace came over me. This was a very special day.
I held Sam on my lap while we listened to the beautiful words of Wayne's blessing. I felt so grateful to have a husband who could do this for our daughter. Afterwards, I was told by my father, that Sophie never took her eyes off of Wayne the entire time. Those are the moments your heart melts....
Sadly, I didn't get a close up of Sophie in her dress, but it was beautiful. My sister had held on to this dress for over 10 years, thinking she possibly would use it for her little girl some day, but now that she is pregnant with her fourth boy, she felt it was okay to pass it over to me. Thanks Emily:)
It was a perfect day, and I am so thankful I was able to share it with my family and those that I love so much.
