Kennley's Baby Blessing

Today was such a wonderful day because we blessed our baby girl!!!! The day started out a little rough though. Saturday night I made sure to set the alarm for 6:30 a.m. so that I could get up and nurse Kennley and then get ready for church at 9 o'clock. Kennley woke up at 5:30 so I nursed her and we both fell back to sleep, and at 6:30 the alarm went off and I hit the snooze. I got up in a panic and started to get ready thinking that I had just enough time to get ready and feed Kennley one more time before the blessing so that she would be content. But would you believe that at 7:45 my blowdryer blew up and I still had a head of wet hair with and hour to go until we had to walk out the door. I ran into the bedroon in a panic and made Brent run to Wal-mart and buy me a new one(I love having a Wal-mart right by our house.) So needless to say my whole plan did not work cause by the time he got back from the store I had just enough time to get ready and get Kennley dressed. She looked so beautiful!!!! Luckily I had some milk frozen so we just took it with us. We walked in right at the nick of time. We sat down and hurried to get her bib on and feed her, but she would not take the bottle. Finally she started eating when they said they were ready to do the blessing, and my first thought was oh no she just ate and did not burp.......Those poor guys are going to get spit up on. But she did great even with a half full stomach she was so peaceful for the blessing(I think she knew her daddy was nervous and she didn't want to make him more nervous) Brent said such a beautiful blessing that came right from his heart, and it couldn't have been any better. Afterwards we had our family and friends over for breakfast. It was so good to get everyone together for such a special day in our lives. We are so blessed to have our little angel in our family. We love her so much and wonder how we got so lucky to have such a precious baby girl who we adore.
