Ruby Marie Rogers' Blessing

John and I spent 36 delightful hours in Denver on April 9-10, 2011, for Ruby Marie Rogers' baby blessing. The plane we were scheduled to have Friday evening had maintainence problems and after 6 hours of waiting the flight was cancelled and we were put on a flight at 7:00 AM Saturday morning. John with three-year-old Mordecai. Mordecai is a little chatter box who loves cars, trains, and balls. We enjoyed playing with them on the green belt. The weather was great for flying a kite.
Emily's hair is now very long. She reads well with expression and is loves life and family!
Ruby smiles at times and is a snuggly, sweet baby!
Karen Bainbridge created this exquiste heritage blessing (wedding dress according to Emily) ensemble for Ruby. It is made of batiste (100% fine, soft cotton), beaded smocking on the dress and bonnett, large and tiny tucks, embroidery, inserted lace, rosettes, etc. It is to be cherished for generations.

beautifully decorated. They are truly making it their own as they update and add new features. Mordecai at church doing quiet work while waiting for the meeting to begin.
Mike and Desi before the meeting in which Michael blessed Ruby with the assistance of both grandfathers and friends in the ward. It was a delight to be in the Gospel Doctrine class that Mike taught and to see his teaching expertise and feel his testimony.

It was a precious time to play and to love our grandchildren in their own home and to talk face-to-face with those we love so much. Mike and Desi have created a wonderful home. We were so blessed to be able to feel of the loving spirit there.
