We blessed Genevieve on June 27th. She was beautiful.
I made the skirt... (thank you Sheetsy for the beautiful teacloth!!!)
My MTC mission companion and her lovely mother sent me a package of vintage goods shortly after Geni was born for me to use in my little projects. I fell in love!!!! So, Geni's blessing skirt is made from a teacloth from that package. Thank you!!!
My mom and sister made the hair accessory- also adorable and perfect! Thank you!!!
Isn't she lovely? Mark and I painted her fingernails and toenails red- special for the occassion. :)
We had a little get together afterwards for our family and friends- once again- I am SO completely grateful for the friendship we have here in Ohio!!! So many people have adopted us-and help make events like this warm and wonderful. 
The kids had a great time tearing the house apart.
Our across the street neighbors. They had their baby boy four weeks after Geni was born. :) He'll probably be her first boyfriend.
Our darling neighbor and adopted Grandma (Mema) insisted on bringing the cake! It was delicious.
Geni with her beyond gorgeous girl cousin Natalie! I emphasise the girl part because in our family girl cousins are hard to come by. :)
The boys (Mel, cousin Henry, and neighbor friend Corbin) playing trains. What is it with Thomas?
Us mammas with our babies. 
Mark's mom came to Ohio special to meet Geni and come to her blessing. It was WONDERFUL!!! Thank you for coming!So... here is the real Grandma and the adopted Grandma. Mel called them both "Mema"
More good friends!

Okay- this one is a little better.
