Blessing day

With Uncle Will in town, we took you to church for your blessing day. You looked so beautiful and didn't cry through the whole thing. You wore a dress Grandma Linda wore as a baby along with the lace tights I made and some beaded white moccasins from our good friend Marjie Lundell.

The circle was very small with Will being the only family there and most of our close friends not being members. But I'm sure the friends and family members who couldn't be there love you and welcome you with their whole hearts.

Truth is, your whole life has been a blessing so far. Every time you sleep in your cradle board, it's like a big hug from grandma and grandpa crow. Every time I put down the shade in your room, I remember the amazing blessing of having Angela and mom here for your birth. And so it is with every outfit, every toy and book – even your crib has come from someone who loves and blesses you. These things themselves won't last but the love that went into them will always be there for you.
