Faelyn's Baby Blessing was on November 3rd and it was a beautiful day to officially welcome Faelyn into the world. An induction of sorts. Surrounded by family and wonderful friends, Faelyn had a great day.

The blessing was performed by Faelyn's Katie Na




And everyone came forward with their own blessing for her.






Faelyn taking a break from it all...to hug a column.





Dana and Bilal with a beautiful blessing and necklace for Faelyn.





And then we went swimming. (one of Faelyn's favorite activities)





Faelyn was "very" ready!!
