Bentley's Blessing

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.
