Haylee's Blessing




On September 15th, we blessed Haylee Lori. It was such a beautiful day with lots of family that came to support us. Ryan gave her a sweet blessing, and we know she is our calming angel that perfectly completes our family. We had a brunch afterwards at our house and loved spending time with all our family.



A little background on her name. We always knew we wanted her middle name to be Lori, after my aunt and my middle name is Lori, but we had the hardest time deciding on a first name. We went back and forth with so many names. One month it was Devin, the next month it was Hallie and continued this way all the way till she was born. We liked to ponder the name we could agree upon and then practice saying it. Nothing ever clicked. It was the hardest decision we had to make, seriously! Finally, 3 weeks before she was born, I came across the name Haylee Duff on the internet. It kind if jumped out at me and got the wheels going. Ryan and I both liked the name and the kids did too. It sounded and felt right. So when I finally went into labor and had to tell the nurse her name, Haylee was her name.
