Lonnie blessed the babies at church on Sunday. It was a special day! The babies were great. Making it easier on Lonnie, Maya slept through the entire thing and Max made only a sigh.
Maya Catarina
Maya in her blessing dress made of fabric left over from my wedding dress. The lace at the bottom of the dress was on my mom's veil when she got married. Thank you to Susan Combs and my mom who helped make the dress.
Max Elliott
Max's outfit was also made out of wedding dress fabric and was made by my mom. Lonnie hopes that the wedding dress fabric won't encourage him to wear a wedding dress when he gets married.
In the past couple of weeks, they have both become serious thumb/finger/double fist suckers.
Thanks to our family members who made the trip down to Houston. John and Cookie Allred came from Danville, CA. Lynne and Patsy Mercer came from Bountiful, UT, and Rob, Zane, Ammon and Zaley Kaelberer came from Murfreesboro, TN.

I can't believe the one weekend we are gone you blessed the babies! I had no idea I'd even missed it. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't expect everyone to plan their lives around me :-). They looked SOOOO adorable in their little outfits and I'm sure the blessings were beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteI love the use of your wedding dress material for the twin's blessing outfits & the lace from your mom's veil. They are beautiful & represent such special ordinances. True keepsakes.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!!!
Love all your pictures from the recent posts. Your babies look wonderful and happy. And your blessing outfits are so great...I always feel a little bad for baby boys because baby girls get the gorgeous dress but Max's little outfit is awesome. Glad it all went well with the blessings.
ReplyDeleteHow precious. I am so glad that you were able to use the fabric. I wish that I had done that. They are both so beautiful. I love your house (from what we see from the pictures.) I can't tell you how excited I am for the four of you!!!
ReplyDeleteTell Lonnie not to worry too much about the whole Max and the dress thing. Our pediatrician told us that it was totally normal for a 3 year old little boy going to the supermarket in a cinderella dress. EEEEEK. It will happen.
What a creative idea for the blessing outfits! I absolutely love it!! They are just getting cuter by the minute, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteAnd then there were four! So great!
ReplyDeleteso sweet! i have a toothache!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind me peeking on your blog I found it on Tom and Laura's. (This is Michelle their friend) The babies are beautiful! Congratulations. I love their blessing outfits, and I love the idea that they are made from your wedding dress.

ReplyDeleteThe may not have cried, but I bet you did!
ReplyDeleteEvery time i look at the blog, gee every few days, I smile. It was so special to be able to work on the clothes and be there for their blessings. I am so blessed to be a Nana of 7!!! Love all my babies, just wish I could live nearer.
