bless the baby

Thanks to Kourtnee Davis for the cutest blessing announcement EVER!!! http://www.etsy.com/shop/occasiondesign

Jax Nathan Erni was blessed by his dad on July 21, 2013. He was just a little over a month old.

Such an emotional, special day for me as his mom, yet I was proud of myself that I wasn't a blubbering mess. Also such a surreal time. I've witnessed many baby blessings,

but it was so humbling to hear your very own baby be blessed,

by you very own amazing husband. So special its hard to put into words.

Nate gave such a touching blessing.
We were able to transcribe the blessing to read for years and years to come. Both sides of the family got to be here!! As well as some great friends. It was perfect timing with the reunion
going on at the same time. 

We had home made Cafe Rio at the Hyde Park Civic Center after the event. Thanks to everyone who helped with the food preparation. It was a great day! 

My only regret is that I didn't take more pictures. I wish I had pics of the people that attended his special day. At least we got some pictures of Jax.
Let's not let the custom made outfit go unnoticed. My mom used her amazing sewing skills to put together his studly suit. We shopped everywhere and couldn't find anything that I was crazy about,

so being the saint that my mother is, she whipped one up.

I LOVED it.

And how great is it to be able to tell Mr. Jax that his grandma made his blessing outfit!
Also Nate's grandma/Grossmutti made his blanket
And a friend from Georgia made his little booties.
The whole works was made with some serious love.
