Melina, the happy Mom, with Hailey Rose Crosby, about 6 1/2 weeks old. She was officially given a name and blessing by her father Jonathan, on May 6th, 2012, in their Sacrament Meeting in Glendale, AZ. The blessing Jonathan gave her was beautiful, very inspired. The Spirit was so strong. We are so thankful that he honors his Priesthood, and uses it to bless his family. We are so thankful we got to be there.
Here is Raylin, explaining "This is my baby sister, I call her Hailey Rosy, but her name is really Hailey Rose", as she rocks her gently in her car-seat. Her middle name is because she was born on the 1st day of Spring!
These photos were all taken at Jonathan's brother's home, where as many family members as possible were gathered to celebrate 3 baby girl blessings--all cousins---on the same day!!! Here you see Melina, Hailey, and Grandpa Bill...
From left to right, Raylin, Jonathan, Hailey, Melina, Bill, and Kiley!
...and cousin Lucy joins in!
What a special, emotional day! Or, maybe I was wiping perspiration, not a tear? The power went out in the neighborhood---it was rather warm!!!
OK, now we're ready! Grandpa Bill, Grandma Diane, with Hailey! I had so much fun making her dress, and Melina made her pretty headband! So special to get to be part of Hailey's first ordinance on this earth!
Other grandmas get turns to hold her, too. Left to right are Melina's Mom, Jonathan's Mom, and Jonathan's Dad's Mom!
The happy Grandpa Bill gets a turn...and below, Grandpa Bill and Hailey study each other!
Kiley is busy playing with cousins...
Raylin is busy eating with cousins...
And above and below, are the 2 cousins who were also blessed earlier that day! How handy that they were all born so close to one another, what a special bond they are likely to have! What a happy celebration day!
