Blessing Day for Fox came a little later than it does for
most babies, mostly because he had been so uncomfortable/sick/fussy with reflux
and/or colic. But it finally came, and
it was a special day for the family. In
our church, a blessing is somewhat like a christening for a baby in other
churches, although it isn’t exactly like a christening. At a baby’s blessing, their name is
officially stated, and then a prayer is said over the child (Jeromy did the
honors), with some sort of blessing pronounced.
Fox looked quite dapper on his special day:
Afterwards, we went to Mandy and Jeromy’s to take some
pictures (and eat some food!):
We were quite happy that Robert’s mother, Grandma Lynda, was
able to come, too:
In fact, it was Grandma Lynda who made the beautiful little
outfit that Fox was wearing:
It was Grandma Lynda who also made the beautiful dress that
Paisley wore on her Blessing Day:
Mandy is going to have them treated and preserved so that
each of her grandchildren will have a special outfit to wear on their blessing day…One
of those family heirlooms to be treasured forever!
