A Special Dress for a Special Day

Today was Reese's first time to church. She slept pretty lightly out with the congregation, but when I headed back to the "Nursing Room," she was out like a light. And what a sweet time it is to sit back with other moms and talk about daily joys and trials. I started to worry that her special "first time to church" dress would end up being too small because we have waited so long to get her out, but it fit perfectly. My mom smocked this special dress, and I was so happy to pose an entire photo shoot around it. What an incredible blessing it was to take our daughter to church to worship the God who has healed her and given her life. Now we just ask Him to give her some gas relief and ease her little bodily systems. We are blessed and are so happy to celebrate her 7 weeks with us!

First attempt at the family photo with the self timer. Not too bad.

Second attempt was a bit better.

Oh man. Melt my heart.

I just love my little girl.
