Elise's Blessing

Elise was blessed at church today. She wore a dress that Grandma Marian sent for her. She looked precious. Here is a picture of us after church.


And here is one before church with her little bonnet. I think that she looks like a little baby pioneer!


Even though today was a happy day, I was a little homesick. Elise is the first baby that we've blessed with none of our family present. It is so weird. Usually we have a big lunch together with family after, but today we are just home and everyone is eating their own thing...so different than I am used to. I know Elise doesn't care, but I does make for a homesick mama! I really don't like living so far away from family.
