Harriet’s blessing day.

I did one of these name prints for Elna, and loved it, so I decided to do one for Harriet too.

The one failed attempt at getting a picture of the girls together—neither were having it.

And because I wasn’t thrilled with the way her pictures turned out Sunday, I took a few thousand more of her a few days later:

So in love with this big wide eyes!  Wide eyes like her sweet great aunt Harriet.

Love heaped up, pressed down and running all over these two sweet girls!

Harriet’s blessing was beautiful and powerful—a sweet experience for both me and Brian.  I rarely see Brian get emotional, but for both of our girls blessings he has.  Oh, how I hope she will honor the amazing women she was named after by living a life filled with faith, service, charity, humor, and righteousness.  We are grateful to be Harriet’s parents!
