...so we give blessings to babies. Before we moved, and way before (as in a couple months before) the babies were even born, Lish's sister and her husband and me and Lish all decided that we should bless our babies on the same day. Even though we moved, we went ahead with our plans. We thought having the blessings over President's Day weekend would be best because Brandon's family could fly out and we'd have that long weekend to spend time together with all the fam. And it was such a great weekend, which was actually a full week for me and Yale and most of the week for Lish. Yay for us!
Here are some pictures from the day of the blessings. Coming up will be a bunch of other pictures from the week, including several from Mitch and Bev's visit to us. That's right. Lish's dad and stepmom came out to meet both of the grandbabies for the first time. And the little ones are Mitch and Bev's first grandkids. Yay!
Anyway, here are those delightful pictures.
See? Delightful, right? (That white and green blanket, by the way, was made by Yale's Great Great Great Grandmother. Isn't that awesome? I thought so too.)

Eternal Family
Within these past couple of weeks I have had a couple of friends and one family member lose a member of their family. It's gotten me thinking a lot about family and what happens when they pass on. It was interesting to me to see how each of these different people were coping with their losses. My friends who lost somebody do not have the same beliefs that I have. They are of a different faith and I'm not sure exactly what they believe in terms of an afterlife. My brother-in-law however is a member of the same faith.
The blessings we have as members of the LDS church are incredible. Knowing that we will be with our families again someday is such a comforting thought. I know my brother-in-law has been blessed to know he will see his father again someday, and I know my friends will see their family members again some day. I wish that they had that knowledge. Eternal family is an amazing thing and I am so blessed to get to be with mine forever.
