Reilly's Blessing

On Reilly's nine month birthday, we had a blessing for her at the house. The celebrant from my and Adam's marriage ceremony, Diana, performed the ceremony. The service was beautiful, based on the 4 elements - Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. It was wonderful to have all of our familes present. Unfortuntely, the none of the great-grandparents could make the trip, but we placed something from each of them on the altar, so they were with us in spirit.

It was great to have my side of the family all here together.
