We're doing the Blessing as well at St. Timothy's Episcopal in West Des Moines, IA...they call it 'Mass on the Grass.' I've been priming Lucie for two weeks to be on her best behavior so she can get a blessing. She looks at me with her big brown eyes, so trusting, but I think the blessing will be more for me than for her!
