Last Sunday our little boy was blessed in church. Craig was the one who gave him the blessing surrounded by our fathers and brothers. It was an awesome experience to see the wonderful men in my family participate. For those of you reading this who are not Latter-day-Saints, we typically give infants a blessing soon after they are born. It's not like a traditional Catholic baptism (you have to be at least 8 years old to get baptized) but more of an individual blessing for them. Gideon received a beautiful blessing that was humbling to hear. As his mother I feel a greater responsibility to teach him correct principles and to help him learn the things that will get him through this stormy life. Speaking of storms we've had some amazing storms here in Sparks the last few days. It's been amazing to see so much snow piled everywhere. Yesterday we used some 4-wheelers to pull sleds around the property here. It was so much fun! It seems that the last two weeks have been full of fun times with the holidays and my brothers wedding. All the visiting family have returned home and it is awfully quiet around here. I guess it's time to get back in a routine- boring but probably good for us at this point.
