Blessings

The past year was filled with blessings for our family. The biggest of those blessings being our sweet Cade and Cole. They are so full of life and add such amazing joy to our home. I am so grateful everyday for them (and for their big sister, Ella). I am also grateful for the blessings that come from prayer, fasting, and priesthood blessings. We relied so much on these in the days and weeks following their arrival. It was a humbling time but one that provided so much growth.

We were going to wait until spring to bless the boys but decided at the last minute to do it after the Christmas holiday when family was in town. Scott blessed Cade and my dad blessed Cole. Both boys did wonderful. Cade was not feeling well but hung in there and did not make a peep. Each blessing was beautiful.
