June 1st 2008 Joe blessed Elise in sacrament meeting, our baby girl is officially Elise Marie Benson. It was a beautiful and long blessing throughout which Ellie screamed at the top of her lungs. Joe kept his cool through the whole thing and at the end blessed our baby with patience that she has not yet received:). She was blessed in the dress that I was blessed in 28 years ago and what makes it even more special is that my Mom made it. It was a wonderful day and we are so grateful to have shared it with our ward family here in Alpharetta Georgia. When we moved here I was in the middle of a miscarriage, it was miserably humid and I was pretty sure I would hate living in Georgia. Now, a year later we have our sweet baby girl, we have so many wonderful friends and though it is still miserably humid, now I know I can be happy here, so very happy.

Elise is absolutely adorable. The crying wasn't even that bad. I just thought the comment that Dean made after was funny about you being anxious the whole blessing. He sure does a good job of directing everyone's attention to things like that!
That is such a sweet story! Congratulations again. These little ones are such a blessing.
She looked BEAUTIFUL! I didn't know that was your dress too! It looks brand new!
Wow! I didn't know about the dress either - that's so neat! Her little lungs couldn't overpower Joe's though so it was more cute than anything :-)
I am very sad that I missed the blessing!! But from the pictures she looks like such a SWEET little girl!!!
