My very beautiful "newest" little girl. She was so beautiful this day. This is the dress that her Grama Fosburg made for my first little girl, Evelynn. Elizabeth also wore it. We waited to bless her until 01 May 2011 so that Nana and Papa could be here. Daddy was so cute blessing my little girl.
My wonderful priesthood holders! From left to right: Bishop Latham Harris, daddy: W. Jesse Morris, my honey: Christopher Fosburg, our friends: Corey Richardson and Treffle Beaupre.
I recently read the church's statement on the purpose of blessing our children in our meetings. It said that to bless our children in front of our congregation is a demonstration of the faith of the parents and an invitation for the congregation to exercise their faith on behalf of the little one presented to them. 
It is so cute to see the daddy after he's done blessing his child, the tradition is to hold the child up higher in the air after the blessing to "show" the ward the new baby. Every time the daddy's grin is huge and all the women in the congregation giggle or sigh or just smile hugely. It's a wonderful moment for a ward and the family.
I sure enjoy getting to share the joy of my new additions with my friends and family at church.

That is really incredible I am so happy that you have been able to experience that blessing and joy. She looks absolutely beautiful and I'm glad that you were able to have family there to share it with you.
You know what I just realized, you have captured all 4 Father's blessings on our blog. That is quite an accomplishment- Alexandera looks beautiful :)
