We finally blessed Brooklyn at church on Sunday, June 2. I know she is already 3 months old, but that's just how it worked out. Craig gave her a beautiful blessing and we were so lucky to have a lot of our friends and my parents there to support us. My mom brought out the dress that I was blessed in and Brooklyn was able to wear it as well, I just updated the bonnet that I wore to a head band for Brooklyn.
L to R: Kings, Moss', Rothlisbergers, Kowallis' (the Coles were there as well but had to sneak out after the sacrament)

So glad that my Dad was able to be in the circle |
My sister Melissa made Brooklyn the beautiful white blanket |
My parents were able to come out a few days before the blessing and we were hoping to do a few touristy things but of course it rained all weekend, especially Saturday. So instead of walking down Beale street and seeing the ducks at the Peabody and visiting the Botanical Gardens, we drove around Memphis pointing out things while it was pouring rain. Hopefully next time we can actually get out of the car. We did go get some yummy BBQ. We took them to my favorite place, Germantown Commissary. You can't go wrong with the Boss Hog Special (Ribs, chicken, sausage, pulled pork, cole slaw and baked beans) and of course we had to finish th meal with banana pudding.
Brooklyn had a lot of fun meeting her Grandpa Williams for the first time and seeing Grandma again. We were so glad to have them come out and can't wait to see them again in a few months when Brooklyn and I get to head back to Boise for my sisters wedding.
