Our beautiful Bentley was blessed last Sunday on March 1st. We opted to do it at my parents home in a comfortable setting for all. My brother-in-law blessed her and several close family friends that I have known since I was a baby were part of the circle. It was a beautiful blessing and she was a perfect angel through the entire blessing!
On a side note, the blessing gown that she was wearing was made by my great grandmother on my father's side. She made it for my grandfather's blessing in 1910. My grandfather, father, all the Murphy children and grandchildren have been blessed in it. At almost 100 years old, it is still holding together. And the blanket she was wrapped in was made in Bethlehem. I bought it while I was living in Isreal.

Bentley attended her first sporting event last night...University of Denver vs. Colorado College hockey...HUGE rival! Our babysitter fell through, so I decided to take her with us. I figured it is pretty loud at a hockey game, so if she started crying, she wouldn't be bothering anyone. Upon entering the arena she fell silent and was entranced with the action on the ice. She even let out a little wimper when a fight broke out :) Although we ended up tying, it was a great game and I think Bentley thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Now onto baseball season...
She even managed to take a little catnap
