A Day of Blessing



Today our little Samuel received a name and a blessing at church. This has always been a sweet thing for me, witnessing Byron take our little ones in his arms and use the Priesthood to bless our baby. Once again, I was touched. We are so blessed to have had four children now come into our family, and even though it makes life unpredictable and leaves very little time for ourselves, I can't think of anything that would teach us more or bring us more joy. What a huge blessing children are! Now if I can only remember that as the week begins once again.....

You look so great! As do all the littles. I couldn't agree more about having children in our lives as blessings. Hope you had a great Sunday!!

What a great day, I agree there are few things more special than watching your husband bless your baby. Congrats on today, More and more these days I am so grateful for a worthy priesthood holder to lead our family. I am so glad Byron is yours! You look beautiful, you are not supposed to look that good this soon after having your fourth.

Wow, such great pictures! It really was a sweet blessing. I always think blessings are especially comforting for moms.

Cute Sam!! I wish we could've been there. Your kids look so great. I'm so glad you have Lucy, a girl. She looks darling. You look good too. By the way, I replaced the apparently unfavorable "Cheesecake Factory Pic" with a different one. I think you'll approve. Thanks for yelling at me about it. And yes, I felt you were yelling in your comment.

Hey Garns, Mandi just got the good old blogging bug. So now we too can be part of the in crowd. So if you haven't heard yet, we are moving to Glendale in August. We are fairly excited.
