The Hinyard-Lash Experience: Starring Leslie, Jeff, Esme, Brynn, Han, and other members of the Hinyard-Lash family

Send a blessing to Esme

Sunday, September 21, 2008

At the naming ceremony last week, we had guests write down a blessing to put in a Blessing Box for Esme. All of the blessings will be saved and when she gets to her Bat Mitzvah age (13), she’ll read all of the blessings that were given to her.

We would love to have blessings from as many people as possible, and since some people couldn’t make it and some people are far away, here’s your chance to send a “virtual” blessing. Just send it in email to jeff@jefflash.com and we’ll write out the blessing for you and put it in the Blessing Box. It can be anything you want, as long or as short as you want — just something from you to Esme as she enters this world.

And, for those of you missing your regular Esme photo fix, here are some pictures as a reward for reading this far:

    Hey Guys! I know this is a little late… but Mazel Tov! A naming is a beautiful way to welcome you little girl into this beautiful tradition. We also did something similar for our daughter Adeena. I made a quilt with the help of 10 wonderful women whom I adore and admire. I asked them to give Adeena a blessing and I wrote it out on fabric and sewed it into the quilt. She will have those blessings always. I would love to show it to you sometime! Can’t wait to meet Esme!
