Baby Blessing

We blessed baby Jessica on November 2, 2008. Hank gave her a beautiful blessing. It was such a sweet experience for me to see my husband and baby participate in this sacred ordinance. Jessica was wide awake during the blessing and didn't even make a peep - what a good girl! It was so nice to have Hank's mom here, too.


Grandma Bennett bought Jessica's blessing dress. It is beautiful - and at least 3 feet long. Here is Grandma giving Jessica her first manicure.


Getting ready for the big event. Jessica wasn't happy getting woken up to get dressed, but Daddy always knows how to calm her down.


My little sister Melanie knit these tiny booties for her favorite niece. Thank you!

You have some amazing pics! I almost teared up. It's so fun to go from being a couple to being a family. Hope that makes sense! You all are such a sweet little family.

I am finally blogging about our big trip to Hawaii last month. It was our 3rd anniversary and our dear friends, the Barnums, said we could come visit them anytime we wanted....so we did! Here are a lot of pictures, in no particular order: On the actual day of our anniversary, April 19th, Hank and I left the baby with a sitter and hit the town by ourselves. Since I wasn't a fan of the whole snorkling thing, we took a submarine ride to get a good view of the sea life. Yes, that is a real sea turtle in the real ocean, 100 ft underwater. I snapped this picture out my window. The view of Waikiki from our sub before we went under. The flag at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It has been raised to half mast everyday since the memorial was erected. Hank helping raise the flag first thing in the morning. "Give me gum gum, dumb dumb." Us and the Barnums at the Temple.

So Sleepy . . .

So, we may be terrible parents, but we thought this was so funny. Jessica wouldn't take an afternoon nap today and by dinnertime she was exhausted. She was so tired that she couldn't even chew her food. The best part was that Hank could not stop laughing at her and it was keeping her awake. This video was much longer, but I cut it down...because watching a baby fall asleep may not be as interesting to you as it was to us.
