Brynley's Blessing

Today our sweet little angel is 8 weeks. It is amazing how fast the time has gone. She smiles a lot and starts to make sweet little noises when she gives you that big grin. She sleeps for 7-8 hour stretches and then goes back to sleep for another 3 hours after that. Brynley has been such a joy to have in our family. She is so loved and the kids still fight over who gets to hold her next.

Aunt Angie calls Brynley a "Chunk of Burning Love". We love her chunky kissable cheeks!

This weekend was the 4th of July so Trav's parents came to visit as well as John, Angie and kids from Washington. We blessed Brynley yesterday. It was so nice. She wore the same blessing dress that Baylee and Sydney wore. My parents were supposed to come but my Dad recently had surgery and was not feeling well enough to make the long trek from Texas. We really missed them but they were so thoughtful and sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers to let me know they were thinking of us and wishing they could be here.

The flowers from my parents.

Since none of my family were able to make it, Brynley still had something special from each of them on her special day. She had a beautiful white blanket that my mom had crochet that each of my children had on their blessing day. My sister, Lori, had made this special blessing bracelet for Baylee that both Sydney and Brynley wore. My sister, Tina, had given Baylee a beautiful beaded bracelet that Brynely wore as well. I felt that my family were all apart of the blessing even though not here physically.

We had a wonderful dinner with friends and family after the blessing! We are so thankful to have fabulous friends here to share special times with us, they are part of our family and we love them. We wish all of our friends and family could have been here to meet our little Brynley and be here for her blessing day.
