Lila's blessing

Aunt Lindsay meets Lila for the first time!

Lila's baby blessing was yesterday and it was wonderful.  Lila looked beautiful in the dress and bonnet her Grandma Halsey made for her (thank you!) and Byron gave her a beautiful blessing.  We had a great time having Byron's family visit over the weekend and having much of my family come down for the blessing and dinner at our place afterward.  Lindsay, Matt, and my friend Melissa also flew in and surprised me by showing up at our doorstep in San Diego.  I had no idea they were coming!  What a great surprise.  It's so much fun having everybody over and it was hard to see them go.  Lila definitely loved being held all weekend!
