Adelaide's Blessing

While we were in Utah recently we had Adelaide's blessing at my grandparent's house. It was a beautiful day with our families and it meant a lot to have it at my grandparents. Not only does that house hold lots of childhood memories for me but that house is where Jake and I sat talking on the porch swing till the early morning hours after our first blind date. We also had our wedding reception in their backyard.

It was a special day and Adelaide was able to wear the dress that I was blessed in. We were also able to learn of some more connections to her name. We knew that Adelaide means noble and kind, and that her name was a German princess which they named a city in Australia after. We also knew that the name Adelaide showed up in both of our family history. We didn't know however until after she was born that my dad went to Adelaide Elementary school, or that my Grandma's best friend and maid of honor in her wedding was named Adelaide. She showed us the picture of her wedding with Adelaide wearing the yellow bridesmaid dress. It is a special name and we love her!
