Jilly's blessing

September 7, 2008










I know I am a bit behind but I figured better late than never. I can't express my feelings very well when I think of how blessed I truly am. I am so thankful to be married to a man who honors his priesthood and was able to bless our daughter. Hunter was never blessed and Danny was blessed by his Uncle Doug. I have been lucky to always have honorable priesthood holders in my life but it isn't the same as having it available in my own home. I am so grateful for that!

After a crazy morning...REALLY crazy. We didn't get any pictures of the kids or us or anything before church while everyone was dressed up. We finally arrived at church for Jilly's blessing. We filled 3 large pews with family and more with friends. We are truly blessed!!!






She did not like being laid down for the blessing. She cried the whole time...well, until Greg sat her up to show her off and then she was all smiles. What a stinker!! :-) My good friend Emily McCain made her dress out of my wedding dress. She is amazing and Jilly was soo stinking cute!!!

Jennifer is a bit preoccupied with assisting her sister with the formalities of the passing of a loved one, so I hope I don't do any disservice to his memory by writing this blog post. Gerald, Gerry, or Papa Bear as Jennifer lovingly called him, is Jennifer's father. I believe he passed away on June 24th, 2008. He was 80. Grandpa Shepardson was a very talented man, a concert-level pianist and very intelligent. He did a wonderful job of preparing Jennifer to marry me, because he loved music, photography, thrift shopping, "STUFF", dry humor, bad puns, reading, sharing the knowledge of his passions, and sarcasm. I love him and was sad to hear of his passing. I'm not sure if I expressed to Jennifer my admiration for her father, but I certainly hope she knows that I have always felt him to be a kindred spirit from the day I met him face to face. We love you Papa Bear! You will be missed.

OK I know 4 months isn't really very old...but I am sad that she is growing up at all! I am having so much fun with her! She is happy ALL the time. There is nothing better than being woken up to her talking in her bed in the morning. She doesn't roll much yet - mostly when she is mad. But it's coming. She is VERY strong and it probably won't be long before she is sitting on her own. YEAH!! Isn't she just dang cute!! (I realize I am a bit biased....I say this often don't it) LOL

Her first solid food.....well kind of solid

BEFORE THE FEAST: AFTER THE FEAST: Jilly had her 4 month doctor's appointment today. She weighs in at 13 lbs. 4 oz. (45% of average 4 month olds) and is 25 inches long (80% of average four month olds). She is tall and thin.....not a bad way to be. :-) So after her check up (and the shots - poor thing) the doctor said she was definitely ready for cereal. So we came home and gave it a try. She wrinkled her nose a lot and everything came out at least once before she figured out that she should swallow it. But she was (is) dang cute doing it!! So, now we have a new fixture in the dining room....the high chair. YEAH!!
