Before church, we went outside to try and take some pictures of the whole family while we looked nice! (I know you all know how hard that is) Of course, it was probably a gazillion degrees with a million per cent humidity! So, we didn't tarry long. All the men/boys were sporting pink ties in honor of Ashlyn. (of course, Tanner didn't think a pink tie would be cool, so we got him to accept a pink and blue striped one.)
Jim and Shirley Monroe (Chad's parents) were also able to be there for the blessing!
Of course, we needed a picture with JUST the grand-kids! Can you tell that everyone is getting a little
tired of taking pictures?
Once we got to the church, Brooke wanted to take a few more shots... and, of course, we said YES!!!
Then each grandparent had to have another picture... Can you tell this little miracle baby is loved?
She has come along way from being 2 months early and only weighing 3 lbs. 15oz. Now healthy and strong! What a miracle!
Then a picture of all the men who helped bless her:
Then right after church, we had to try for a few more back at home in front of the house.
Brooke has become quite the photographer.. here is a collage of some she took of Ashlyn:
She looked so darling in her dress and bracelet we gave her.
It was a magical day! We felt so privileged to have been able to come. We love our new little grand-daughter, Ashlyn Elizabeth Monroe.
All too soon it was all over and it was time to go back to our mission. The next morning Tanner got up early to make us breakfast before we departed. Thank you to ALL the Monroes for making our trip really wonderful!
