Nicole's Baby Blessing

I still have deep regrets about not putting Nicole in a simple pink dress that my mom and I picked out together. The blanket behind Nicole is one of the famous few crocheted by my aunt. We still have this blanket (of course), and just yesterday Nicole told me that this blanket is "very, very, very, very, very special to her, and that's why Grant can't touch it."

I also have regrets about cutting my hair. I like this length here.
Confession: these pictures were taken several days after Nicole's actual blessing. The day of her blessing, I brought her home from church, changed her into something much more comfortable (probably made of cotton and spandex), and put her in bed while all of the family ate dinner. It wasn't until the next morning that I realized I didn't have any pictures from the previous day. And to think, this was my first and only child!
