Blessing Grace

I suppose it's about time that I blogged about Grace's blessing! We blessed her on Sunday, October 10, 2010 (10/10/10!) in our Ward here in Tallahassee. Trent blessed her, and in the circle were family and a best friend (who may as well be family!). They included: Devin Ladle, Mike Ladle, Bryan Ladle, Lance Anderson, Kyle Anderson and Brad Warner. We are so blessed to have so many worthy priesthood holders who were able to participate! We are so grateful for all of them. Trent gave her a beautiful blessing...straight from our Heavenly Father!

Making this day extra special was the fact that my sister, Mindy, and her husband, Kyle, were able to be here...AND that it was Karlee's 11th Birthday!

Following the blessing, we came back to Mike & Annette's house for yummy food and fun family time! I love it when everyone gathers together! I love the feeling and spirit in Mike & Annette's home when it is full of family and friends! I am so grateful that they were willing to open their home for this special occasion! I look forward to being able to have family and friends in our home (hopefully for the next special occasion)!

Here are some pictures of beautiful miss Grace in her blessing dress:

I LOVE seeing Trent hold his baby girl!
It truly was a wonderful sabbath!

I've just read your posts since we last saw you in FL. Loved catching up with your family. Can't believe how much little Gracie has grown. I was kinda "homesick" when I saw your pictures of Cureton's pool. We loved staying with them and getting to know them a bit better. Your house looks awesome. We drive by the house here frequently, always hoping to see a "sold" or "sale pending" sticker. I loved your thoughts on faith. I think most of us need to have that kind of reminder. Glad you now have peace about your move. Love to you and your family and a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Karlee. xoxo Marcia Newell
