The Haggard Herald

I subscribed to LDS gems a while back and sometimes I get one in my email that is very meaningful to me.  Such was the case today; here it is: "Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come." —Jeffrey R. Holland, " An High Priest of Good Things to Come ", Liahona and Ensign, November 1999 Topics: Hope , Happiness

After about 45 minutes of church on Sunday Madeleine was finished and ready to sleep.  Consequently, I listened to the rest of sacrament meeting from the mothers lounge and then missed the first 30 minutes or so of sunday school.  I was sad I missed my chance to visit with family after her blessing--but its either let her cry while we're out visiting everyone or else seclude ourselves to let her nurse and fall asleep for a few minutes.   I'm glad Mom took several pictures with her phone from Sunday, but I wanted to get a few more pictures of Madeleine in her beautiful dress that Aunt Kelly smocked and Grandma Melory made.  This afternoon that mini-photoshoot came to fruition.  Enjoy the pictures: 

Mom and Dad and Mike and Ethan came to stay with us last weekend, which was the weekend Madeleine was blessed in church.  Here are a few pictures that Mom took on her phone and emailed to me:
