blessing day

"*gasp!* rilla is a princess!"
-petra
rilla was blessed last sunday, and she looked beautiful, despite my feeble attempts at sewing.
it was a great day with a little group family and friends to attend.
jeff gave a beautiful blessing including a request that rilla live up to the names she was given,
rilla jarvis, jeff's maternal grandmother
and charlotte ann webb, my paternal grandmother.
I think there can be a lot in a name, and I hope both my girls try to live up to the ones we have given them.
congratulations rilla, you are now listed in the records of the church, and in our hearts.

i knew your gma's name is charlotte. spencer tried telling me the other day that it was just ann. hello! i mean that's what all the pigs in her house are about, right?! spencer...


and rilla does look like a little princess. i can't wait 'til i get to squeeze her and smell the top of her head next month. (that kinda sounds weird)

uh not weird kays... that's the best part of babies. and yeah, why she goes by ann with a great name like charlotte, I will never know. and charlotte webb? charlotte's webb? too easy.

angela and diana.. thank you and thank you!

Congrats on two super cute girls! I'm way impressed with your sewing skills, and I must admit I ALSO have a crush on Mia Michaels. Well, maybe not on her, but at least on the amazing dances she creates.

Chelsea, Little Rilla is absolutely gorgeous! She has a perfect little face.

Don't be a stranger next time you guys make a trip down here, we want to hang out. I need to hold little Rilla.
