Emma's Blessing Day

Emma Dawn Merkley

We had Emma's blessing last Sunday. It was such a great day. Luke gave Emma a beautiful blessing. It really touched me and I felt so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and a great little family. I am honored to be Luke's wife and am so proud of him for being a worthy Priesthood holder. It was such a beautiful day!

We captured a few pictures before lunch. We had to bribe Noah with a cracker to get him to comply (see above).
I love Emma's dress. My grandma and I made it together and I was able to find the same fabric that we used to make my temple dress. Maybe Emma will wear that one day too.
As you can tell, the cracker bribing didn't last too long.

I love your family picture. What a cute fam! I also adore that scowl. He is NOT happy. At least you got a couple pictures out of him.

What a cute little dolly girl you have! So adorable! I love the pictures. I'm glad that all seems to be going well with you all - and good luck on Luke's job! I HATE waiting! I'm sure that it will turn out wonderful!
