This past Sunday, September 30th, we blessed Camilla. It was a really wonderful day. Although none of our family members were able to be here for it, we shared it with some great friends. One of my dad's mission companions lives here in Moscow and so he came and stood in the circle since my dad could not. I really was glad that he was able to come and join us for the blessing. Tim did a great job with the blessing and it was a very sweet experience. Luckily Arthur behaved for the entire blessing and I was actually able to listen and enjoy it. Camilla fell asleep just before Tim blessed her and was so peaceful through out it all. She never let out a peep. She looked like an angel and was so beautiful in her little dress that my mom and I found for her a few months back. To go along with her special day I made a little headband for her as well as little footsie-cover-things. They are just these little pieces of fabric that I decorated with lace and flowers to match her headband. Then I just used some elastic to go around her heel and one of her toes so they would stay on. I think they turned out pretty well and I really like them. Much easier than shoes also, which is a great benefit. I had a lot of fun making them and the headband. It's been quite awhile since I've taken the time to do crafty things so it really made me excited to do it for my little girl. Here are a lot of the pictures I took that day.
Her little footsie things.
Here are a few pictures of Camilla with her very loving brother. She did really well for about one minute and then she was done with the pictures.
All wiped out from a long day. She fell asleep like this during dinner.
Our little family.
I'm so extremely grateful for my two sweet children and for my wonderful husband who works so hard to help me out with them whenever he can. I'm very blessed in my life!
