Emmett's Baby Blessing

Emmett's Baby Blessing 

9.28.14

There were many reasons that made September 28th so special! 1st it was Jeff's 26th birthday!! When we first decided on the weekend for Emmett's blessing we didn't even realize it would be the 28th. As it got closer we couldn't believe the fun coincidence. An exciting birthday present if you ask me! This day seems to be popular in the Shirt's family. It is also Janneke's (Jeff's older sister) birthday! Jeff got to open up a few presents and his mom got him a cold stone cake, and she got Janneke an ice cream cake! It was a celebration all around! 

Emmett's sweet personality is curious of everything around him. His eyes and head never stop moving in every direction. People stop us everywhere we go and comment on how alert the little handsome man is! He absolutely loves to to smile and giggle! I just love getting to know him better!

The COOLEST 

Matching Outfits Ever!!!

Not only did Nana Janet Shirts make Emmett's stunning outfit but she made a secret lining to match his dad's suit coat.

When Jeff's family took a trip to China when he was in high school they had this tux made. With some of the left over material Janet made this super fun inside lining. Like father like son :) 

THANK YOU Janet!!!!

Emmett's Blessing Was Beautiful

Our Heavenly Father loves our Emmett and is happy that he chose to come to Earth. I feel incredibly grateful to have such a strong spirit in our home! I know he will have crazy days, all kids do, but I love that I have the reassurance that even though life will be hard Emmett is strong and will always try his best to do what is right. In this crazy world that we live in that is such a comfort to this momma!
