Mika's Blessing

This past Sunday we were able to give Mika her blessing! I can't express how grateful I am that my wonderful husband has the priesthood and is worthy to give our children their baby blessings. Mika looked beautiful in her blessing gown, it was the same one Taija was blessed in, made by my wonderful Auntie Janet out of the same material as my wedding dress. Although none of our family could be out here for the event we were surrounded by some of our best friends: Egglestons (Darek, Megan, Ellie, and Bree); the Talbots (Richard, Jill, and baby Avery); and the Larsens (Blair, Katrina, and Ella). It is amazing to see how much our family has grown and how fast. It seems like just the other day that Taija was born and we were first-time parents just trying to survive. And while not much changes, still trying to figure out the key to survival, the addition of Luke and Mika make parenthood all that much more exciting!
