Blessing day

Today we blessed Samuel at church. It was a very neat experience. For my fast, my main thing that I was asking was that Jer would be inspired in the blessing that Samuel would receive. We got to church and so many wonderful people came to support us. There were a lot of people willing to stand in the circle, then Jer gave the most beautiful blessing. He told him why we named him what we did, asked that he would develop as a sweet, generous, sensitive boy that would serve the Lord. Talked about having an eternal perspective... and Samuel just grinned at him most of the time. Even the bishop commented on his cute little grin after the blessing. Then we came back to our house for the big family fast dinner that we have once a month... it was our turn to host it. I loved it! It was fun to see everyone enjoying themselves (even though all our toys were downstairs and I wasn't letting anyone down there because we still haven't put the carpet back after our water heater broke and flooded the basement last Thursday.) It was an enjoyable and joy filled day!

Proud mama! I love my boy!

My cute Sammy boy!
