Sydney's Blessing

Sydney was given a name and a blessing on September 26. Steve gave her a beautiful blessing. Among the many wonderful things that were said, one that stands out to me is that she "will be a constant symbol of hope and faith to our family". This is especially true given the things we experienced as a family just weeks before her birth.

We were so happy to have some of our family and friends there to share in the special day.

(sydney is their 22nd grandchild)

we've enjoyed living closer to Steve's sister Becky and her family!
And we wish we were able to see them more often.

My mom brought out 2 of my nieces, Abby and Kate
We were so glad they could come!

It was a wonderful day!!
But we sure did miss all of our family and friends that couldn't make it!
