Today was such a special day. Today in the Fort Lauderdale 1st ward, Jeff gave Junette a name and a blessing. It was a beautiful day. I was so excited to dress her in the beautiful blessing gown my sister Tiffany made out of my Mother's wedding dress. The weather was perfect to wrap my sweet baby in the beautiful white afghan my friend Wanda Boyer made for me. It was a little hard to hear Jeff giving the blessing because the mic wasn't working and there are a lot of little kids in our church but I took a recording of it and Jeff was able to fill in the blanks.

| The boys ran off when we got to church and we didn't have time to hunt them down so we didn't get a family picture. |
 |
| Bennett wanted me to take his picture too. |
 |
| "Take a picture of my eyelashes." |
 |
| The pink and white afghan was made my my Mother. It is a family tradition. My Grandma, who Junie is named after used to make the same patterned afghan for every grandchild she had. I still have mine. Now my Mom makes them. |
 |
| The white afghan was made by Wanda Boyer, a wonderful friend. She also made the boys' bib that they were blessed in. I was so happy it was cooler today so I could wrap her up in it. |
