Kayleigh's blessing

Since our family lives so far away and it is such a long drive we made the decision to bless Kayleigh at our home on a Saturday so that nobody would have to rush home after the blessing. It was really wonderful. Mom and Dad Lyons came down and brought with them Katelyn and Jayne and Mom and Dad Turner came down too. It was just John and the two grandpa's in the blessing circle but it was really neat. John gave our sweet Kayleigh a really beautiful blessing. We feel so blessed to have her in our lives and it such a blessing to have a husband who honors his preisthood and could give our daughter a blessing. After the blessing we changed back into regular clothes and went to Cici's Pizza for lunch. It was so wonderful to be able to have that experiance and it is so wonderful that we could share it with our family. My really good friend Chelsea also came to the blessing.

Our whole family...now a family of Four! Crazy.

I love all the pictures and info, Robyn! Thanks for posting them! So glad all is well and that family was able to make it down for Kayleigh's special day. Now, I just need a close-up of the little girl! And the pictures of Lucas laying by his baby sister are so sweet--love them!
