We took a quick trip to Calgary this past week and while we were there Conor gave Greta Elizabeth a baby blessing in his parents' home. I love this part of motherhood! My mother-in-law, Catherine, made a gorgeous cotton dress for Greta. It turned out lovely and simple - just the way I wanted it. The cupcakes I wanted to serve, however, did not turn out causing an emotional volcano to errupt in me. I was ready to call the whole thing off! Fortunately, my in-laws showed more compassion than I deserved and offered to purchase Crave cupcakes for the event. Honestly, they saved the day. I'd like to say that the rest of the blessing went off without a hitch, but Holly was a bear and Greta was too. Conor blessed her while her uncle John held a bottle in her mouth! One perk of blessing a baby at home rather than at church is there's no rush! The blessing was beautiful, although I'm glad it was recorded because right now thinking back to it I only remember one thing! I admit to feeling a little more than flustered. Ah well. So it goes when I'm 7 weeks post pardum. At least I had to sense to take a bundle of photos!
