Lydia's Baby Blessing

Lydia was blessed in church on Sunday Feb. 1st when she was just 2 weeks old. My mom made her beautiful baby blessing dress (Thank You so much mom - we love it) and we wanted to bless her while she was still in town. She was blessed:
- To have already been born in the covenant
- To have loving parents and friends
- To grow up healthy and strong physically
- To make wise choices
- To learn of Heavenly Father's love for her, and of her love for Him
A blessing was asked in behalf of her parents - that Heavenly Father will teach them wisdom to raise their daughter, Lydia, and to help her grow strong in the church.

It was a beautiful blessing. I am so grateful that Matt is worthy to hold the priesthood to bless our family in good times and bad. It is very comforting to know that whenever I feel I need a blessing I can go to my best friend and he has the power given to him through his dad on up to Christ to truly bless me or my children in the way that we need. Thank you honey for being worthy to be able to hold and exercise such a power to bless us and others. You are truly an example to me.






(We really wanted a full family picture with Lukas and one with just him and his little sis but he was too excited to go to nursery! After getting home he sadly refused to sit still long enough for us to take a pic.)

Nicole you are looking great. And it's so wild to see this pictures because you look like this young couple at church with kids (which is what you are - but that's WILD!) thanks for posting so much. Keep up the great work.
