Emily Jane Butler was given a name and a blessing from her Grandfather on Sunday, October 25, 2009.
We kept the day small and simple by having the blessing at our home and sharing it with family. This made the day very special and allowed us to focus on the celebration that little Emily is to each of us. Wing conducted the meeting with Parker, Grace and Kate leading the music and saying prayers. Wing and I got to each bare our testimonies of the Atonement and what Emmy means to us. She is our miracle baby! Our family has been blessed to overcome incredible odds and Emily is a symbol of those blessings.
Emily was named after a person that is always in our hearts, Pamela Jane Hunsaker. She has Pam's zest for life and shows it through her bright smile to all who come in contact with her. Just like Pam, Emily makes friends easily and attracts everyone openly. She is a busy little bug who knows exactly what she wants, yet has a kind and pure heart that brightens the soul. Her namesake would be proud of her little Emily Jane.
Just look at all of the people who love you little Emily Jane! What a blessing it is to be close to family.
The blanket on the chair next to Mommy and Emmy was hand crocheted by Emily's Great Grandma Donna. Donna made the blanket for Parker's baby blessing and we have used that blanket at each of our children's blessings.
