Elizabeth Dawn's Blessing Day
Earth Angel
We've been waiting for this day for a long time. For those of you who aren't LDS or that don't know much about us, a blessing is similar to a christening. The baby is given a name, just as in a christening. In addition to that there is a blessing given to the baby. We don't baptize the baby, because our children get baptized when they're 8 years old.
Blessings are usually given when the baby is one or two months old. We could have done it in the hospital, but we decided to wait until she was ready to be blessed in church so that we could share the experience with more people. Ellie will be 6 months old on Thursday, but this day was worth waiting for. She looked beautiful in her dress. I'm hoping to get her pictures taken professionally in the next couple of weeks in her dress before the cold season hits.
At the end of August, Aunt Lois came out from Connecticut to visit the Thompson family. It was the first time she got to see Ellie and we got some pictures with them together. Her group of friends out there have been part of the many people praying for our little girl so faithfully.

This is the picture I took at the last cardiology appointment. These are the wires to run the EKG test.
I think they use less electrical equipment to fly the space shuttle!
Hanging with Grandma Anne after the blessing.
A rare picture of Uncle Jeffro. An even rarer picture of Uncle Jeffro with a smile!
Miss Ellie is eating much better. She still needs a little help, but she is improving each day, which is what counts the most. We're working on getting that tube out for good!
Look for videos soon!
