Frederick's Blessing Day

Sunday, November 27, 2011

Frederick
 turned 10 weeks old and was given a name and blessing in church. It was an incredibly special day for our family and Collin gave Freddie a beautiful blessing. He mentioned that Freddie should remember the people after which he was named, their bravery and faith...That he will be very loved in his life and that he must show that love to others....and That he must have faith throughout his life, and strengthen his testimony. During the morning as we were trying to get out the door to church on time, Freddie was feeling our stress and was crying a lot. Then he calmed down when we got there and slept. And my dad told me that just as the blessing was starting, he opened his eyes and looked around at everybody the whole time, without saying a peep.

I seriously look at Freddie and just love him SOOOO much, it's crazy. And I look at Collin and I just NEED him and LOVE him in every sense of those words. I'm so blessed to have them.

It was great to have friends and family come to the blessing. Frederick is loved by so many (and many more who weren't able to be there.) That means a lot to me.

Oh, and Freddie's a pretty chill happy baby but, of course, he's crying in these pictures. Poor guy, hehe. pretty cute still.
