A Name and a Blessing

We (when I say "we", I am "I") decided that while we were in Utah it was the perfect time to have Genevieve blessed. I really wanted to share this special day with family. As it turned out Doug's parents were in town too, so they were able there too. So on August 22nd, Doug was able to bless Genevieve in my parents ward.

Many people have asked me where we came up with the name Genevieve. So I'll tell you. Doug's Grandma's name is Geneva, and his mom's name is Evelyn, but she goes by Eve. So we decided to melt the two names together and wahla, Genevieve Lynn Hurst.
My mom made her dress and I think it turned out beautiful!Even though this isn't the best picture, I think its pretty cute. Genevieve always has her fingers in her mouth! Four generations: my Grandma McEntire, my Mom, Genevieve and I.It was really nice to see some of Doug's siblings, it has been a couple of years since we have seen them. I am so grateful for Doug's parents and for the way they raised him, they have played such a big part in making Doug the man that he is today.
Our cute little family on Genevieve's special day. I am so grateful for a husband that honors his priesthood and can give our children blessings. It is truly a blessing to have a worthy priesthood holder in our home.
Heavenly Father has truly blessed me with a wonderful family! I am so grateful for my family and for the unconditional love that they have for me. I just can't put into words how much I love my family and what they mean to me.
