Bailey's Blessing

On November 13th we blessed Bailey Rae Clark in Church.  We were very touched by all the family and friends that came to support us and participate in the Blessing. That morning Nate made the comment that if she cried and fussed she was only going to get a name- no blessing.  Well she did just that and cried the entire time.  Her father still pronounced a beautiful blessing upon her.

Bailey's blessing dress was created for her by a good family friend Robin Shepherd-  the material and lace came from my mother's wedding dress.  It holds a great sentimental value to me.  Her booties came from Mexico.  After telling Bruce and Glenys we were pregnant they sent these to us.  Bailey looked beautiful!

After church we came home for a Baked Potato Bar-  The trick to baking 65 good potatoes at once- use a double oven-  bake on 350 for 2 hours and then leave on warm for 1 hour while at church.

We are so thankful to all our family that traveled far and wide.  Grandma & Grandpa Hartmann flew in from Colorado and Uncle Matt & Aunt Jen Drove over with the kids.
