Double Blessings

My friend Lara had twin daughters this summer.


Maddie with Hailey and Harmony.


Some of the ladies and young women in the ward have been helping out with the babies and Lara's three-year-old, Landon.

What a blessing it has been to be a part of that!


My friend Kimberly and I also got to sew Hailey and Harmony's blessing dresses. It was a little traumatic for us, as Lara had us cut up her gorgeous WEDDING GOWN to make the dresses. They turned out very pretty though.


Friends and ward members Savannah, Leisel, and Sophia helped a LOT with the girls this summer.

We all made sure we were in town Labor Day weekend for the blessings. Brian loves ALL babies.

We even made Jeff hold Hailey. He always looks so comfortable with the tiny ones...

We are so blessed to be part of a ward family.

What a great use for a wedding dress. Mine is just hanging in my closet. Too bad I probably won't have more babies to try this for.

Those blessing dresses are so beautiful, and how meaningful to have them be from the mother's wedding gown. You and Kimmy did a good job, and a kind and thoughtful deed.
