Blessing Day

We blessed Kari this past Sunday. It was really a special day in so many ways. Grandma and Grandpa Lindseth had come in for a visit--well, to rescue me :-)--and so we took the opportunity to bless her. (In our church we give babies a name and a father's blessing.) Along with Grandma and Grandpa, we had other friends and family there as well. Kari did so well! (Emily and Christian both fussed through their blessings!)

Then, that afternoon, we went over to my mom's house for dinner and some pretty (yummy) cupcakes! Unfortunately, Emily had come down with a little stomach bug and so she wasn't up for much entertainment. But, we all enjoyed good company and celebrating Kari's birth.

Later that evening, when we got home, Emily was still pretty sick. Cubby and his dad were able to give her a blessing. It was also very special. This type of blessing helped her to relax and feel peace so that her body could heal. It was so sweet to witness Emily's simple faith and to see Cubby's priesthood used in two ways that day. I feel so fortunate to have the blessing of the priesthood in our home to help and heal our children.

It was a very special day, indeed.
