We blessed Eleanor on April 28th. Her Grandma Deanna made this beautiful dress and Ellie was a perfect angel the entire time. She was quiet during the blessing and then slept peacefully as she was passed from person to person. Everyone was eager to hold her.
I wanted to record the blessing so that I could write it down later but Ellie and I were a couple minutes late to our ward and our bishop is very punctual so we basically walked in and it was time for the blessing. I didn't have a chance to record it, but I will write down what I remember:
Brian blessed Ellie with health and strength. He blessed her that she would have faith and gain a strong testimony and know of the love that her immediate and extended family have for her. He blessed her with the ability to make good friends at church, school, and wherever she goes. He blessed her with a sound mind that will allow her to take advantage of the educational opportunities that come her way. He blessed that she will be able to attend the temple and enjoy her own family someday. He also blessed her with the knowledge that her Heavenly Father loves and cares for her.
We are so grateful to have this beautiful daughter in our lives.
Families are Forever.
