Kate's Blessing

We blessed Kate on Sunday, June 1. It was a perfect day. Jake's dad, my dad, and our brother-in-law, Peter, were there to participate. (Along with both our moms, Michelle, Wendy, Julie, MaryAnn, Josh , Liz, Christian, Laureana, and Gabriel...all there for moral support and pictures.) Jake gave a beautiful blessing and Kate wore the dress I was blessed in 31 years ago (and Jake wondered why it was a little yellowed!) She looked beautiful! Her hair is just so fantastic. I really love it.

After the blessing, we all went on a walk down to the park between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. The weather was gorgeous and we enjoyed a fun picnic overlooking the East River and the Manhattan skyline. After lunch we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. It was such a fun, memorable afternoon. I'm excited to show Kate pictures and tell her all about it when she grows up.
