Journaling text:
When our son was born, my maternal grandmother made a special gown for us to use for his baby blessing. Chris wore the gown with a blue bow for his blessing in May 1979.
Grandma's thought was that if we had a daughter later we could replace the blue bow with a pink one. But when our daughter was born, my mother-in-law brought us a lovely mint green gown that her daughter & granddaughter had worn for their baby blessings. Erin wore the Smith family mint green gown for her baby blessing in May 1983. The dress was too fragile to use after that. So in August 2015 when it was time for our daughter's daughter's baby blessing, Evelyn wore the gown that my grandmother had made plus a sweater that her dad had worn for his baby blessing.
Very special heirlooms for very special days!
