Baby Blessings x 2


porter and grace were both blessed thanksgiving weekend, since my family was already here, and kamber's came up from tucson. porter was blessed on sat, november 28th by his great-grandfather ellsworth, since dallin and my dad weren't able to. it was a bittersweet night as we keenly felt the loss of not having them there, but i felt peace and reassurance, once again, that we will be with them again. my grandpa is 87 years old and most likely will not live long enough for porter to really know him. so i can't wait for a time down the road, when porter is curious, to be able to tell him about the three men who's legacy he is carrying on.







































sunday morning we blessed grace
at our ward. i couldn't help but be proud of dan as he humbly carried her to the front of the chapel. i am grateful for his worthiness and for his willingness to do what is right in leading our family. i don't thank him enough. afterward we had a little brunch at our house and i finished packing things up for the girls and i to go back to utah with my family. (madison DID NOT want to get dressed for church as you can see. she stopped crying when she got her pacifyer but kept her dress on her head.)

thanksgiving weekend was only four days long but we got to see so many people and do so many things. i am truly amazed, even now, as i reflect on everything i have to be grateful for.
