We blessed Madelyn in church on Sep 30th. I am so grateful for Todd, that he is a worthy Priesthood holder and that he could have the special opportunity to bless our daughter. He performed a wonderful blessing for little Maddie Jane. She wore the same dress as one of her cousins, Hailey, worn. The blanket, that Madelyn was wrapped up in, was a white blanket I brought in Bethlehem while I was doing my study aboard in Israel.
Mommy got Madelyn dressed, and Daddy walked her over to the church.
After sacrament meeting, we had a lunch to visit with the family. We had great grandmas, grandma and grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins, great aunts, great uncles, etc.
We were so blessed to have many come to support and welcome Maddie.
It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for a lunch outside in our backyard.
Madelyn did not make a sound while she was blessed, nor did she cry during Sacrament meeting. She is a good little girl.

Our happy little family!
Endnote: Madelyn did not get her normal naps during the day in her bassinet, since she was passed around person to person wanting to hold her. By the end of the day, I could tell she was tired. She slept for 7 hours straight! Mommy loved having a night's sleep of no interruptions!
I am so happy that everything went well. I'm sorry we didn't make it, things just didn't line up. She is so darling!
