A Name and Beautiful Blessing

Today John blessed our little Josie Mae. This is an LDS ordinance where a priesthood holder, usually the Dad, gives a name and a blessing to their child at the start of their life. John has done a wonderful job with each of our children's blessings. He is so eloquent with words and listens to the spirit. I am so thankful for such a wonderful man!

We missed so many of you...family and friends in Utah, Idaho, Texas, Missouri, and Kentucky + a few other states, and are friends, who are like family, in Oregon and Colorado. Thanks to those of you who are new friends, and were able to stand in the circle. We love you, and are so glad you are apart of our families lives.

(These pics are not easy for me to put up...tired mom and lots of weight to lose, not to mention I'm way in need of having my highlights redone. But for the sake of many loved ones who weren't here, I am allowing them. Up close and better pics of Josie in her outfit will get posted later.)

First of all...just you hush up you adorable thing!

Second, Will received the priesthood yesterday...it just struck me as I looked at your pictures and read your post...how grateful I am for the priesthood and those worthy to hold and exercise it and how it binds and connects us today...not just eternity. It made me closer to you knowing you were experiencing a similiar sacred mom moment. love ya!

I am sure we werent really missed, but we WERE going to try to make it. You just gave us such short notice and we already had so much going on this weekend and Bryce had to be at a clients on Monday morning. Sorry that we couldnt be there.

And I really have been meaning to call you back, promise.

She looks beautiful, as do all of you. I'm so glad your parents could be there and again feel a twinge of jealousy. We love you lots and miss those beautiful children of yours.

Love The Veeks
