We blessed Ava the first of the month and it has really made me reflect on how blessed I truly am. How lucky I am to have such a sweet little girl in our home so fresh from heaven and beautiful in every way. I didn't know that I could love another baby as much as I love Ellie, but I do.
Her blessing day was perfect. She wore the dress that I was blessed in and looked adorable. We blessed her in our home surrounded by family. It was sweet and intimate and Kyle gave a beautiful blessing. I feel so blessed not only to have a husband that was worthy and able to give the blessing, but to have been able to share this special day with supportive family members from both sides.
I feel like the older I get the deeper emotions I feel both ways. Life gets harder, but also sweeter. Life's not easy, but relationships make it worth it, and its days like this that make it worth living.
Congratulations. Blessing a baby is a pretty surreal experience as a parent. You are right, life does get hard sometimes, and frienships and relationships make it better, easier.

Hey! I saw your comment. I want you to know I look at your blog all the time seeing if you've posted again... where are you this summer?
ReplyDeleteDear Fransens,
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I have stopped by, but then again, it's been a while since you have blogged.
I just thought I would let you know that i did a post about being a missionary and thought that since there was a picture of Kyle there, you might like to see it.
