A very 'Blessed' Day

It was a nice day today. I feel very blessed! Had all the family over for dinner and Wini and Dad and Alice also joined us. Jamie's sister and kids came over after and then the highlight of the day of the day. Little Alivia Joyce was named and blessed by Steve. She is eight weeks old today and what a beautiful little baby. She is so sweet and so loved by her parents. Meag said they wanted to bless and and asked if we could do it at our house. We made a special occasion of it. There was such a sweet spirit there and I hope all could feel it. Steve did a great job and choked up at the opportunity to bless this little granddaughter.


Today we also had the opportunity to gowith Laina to the Stake as one of the Counselors in the Stake Presidency set apart Laina. She has received a calling, which will be a real neat opportunity for her. she will be a Youth Counselor for the Multi-region Special Needs Mutual. She will go every Thursday night and serve and participate with these special kids.

Then I had the opportunity to hear Steve give Lainy and Lexi a Fathers Blessing as they start school this week. Lains tomorrow and Lexi Wednesday at SLCC.

It was special to have my dad here to give the blessing on dinner and for Cort to say the opening prayer before the baby blessing and Trevor to say the closing.

I am very blessed!
