In our story, we are still finding out. We are in the middle of "ever after."
But wait!
In case you missed the first installment of our fairly tale, let me catch you up. There was this bride; and her search for a wedding gown; and her daughter, who didn't like the sleeves; and her mom, who is an excellent seamstress; and a baby boy; and well, it's too long to tell all over again. Can I direct you here to read the whole story?
Okay, now that you're caught up, let's fast forward a couple of years. The mom of the baby boy was expecting a second child, this time a girl. What would they do? She couldn't wear the same little blessing outfit, adorable though it was. She needed a gown. Fortunately, there was still enough fabric left over from the original wedding dress, so the mom of the first bride set out to sew a blessing gown. This project was indeed more extensive than the little blessing romper, and the mom of the first bride worked hard day after day after day.
Finally, just in time for the birth of the baby girl, the gown was finished. Her first two months of life flew by, and on a warm day in September, surrounded by family, she was blessed by her father.

Her mom cuddled her tight,
And her mom's brothers came from far and wide to be with her.
The best thing about "ever after" is that it is exactly that. We are in the middle of building an eternal unit, a forever family. We are raising our children. We are growing together. We are living our fairy tale.
And they lived happily ever after. A fairy tale come true.
