Erik's Blessing






Paul blessed our baby in church January 6, 2008, exactly one month after he was born! Our family braved the snow storm to make it to Erik's first spiritual experience. Paul did an excellent job giving the blessing, emphasizing that Erik is loved very much by his family and giving him other blessings Erik needed. The blessing outfit Erik wore has sentimental value. Paul wore it when he was blessed, 24 years ago! It was such a special day! I felt so much love for Erik and also felt the love that our Heavenly Father has for him. I'm so grateful to be a mother of such a wonderful baby boy! Thank you to all our family who came to support us on this special occasion.

Oh! I'm so glad you posted some pictures. He is adorable....just as cute as his dad was in the blessing outfit.
By the way, he was blessed the same day as me and on his G. Uncles B-day. We wish we could have been there.
