Blessing Day

Today was a special day for our little baby Caleb. Caleb was blessed by his daddy today and it was nice to have grandma and grandpa Lewis with us for his blessing. Nate gave him such a beautiful name and a blessing, and you may be wondering how Caleb got his name...well, we just liked it! Actually Nate chose the name Caleb and I wasn't sold on it at first! It took a little time for me to warm up to it! I wanted to spell it with a K so that he would have the same letters in his name as his uncle Blake, but Nate said no it had to be a C. The meaning for Caleb means faithful and bold which I hope Caleb will always be! Caleb's middle name is Daniel which is also Nate's middle name as well as his Caleb's grandpa's name. So that's a little about Caleb's name.

I too feel blessed at this time with such a perfect and wonderful baby boy. He truly is a miracle sent from a loving Heavenly Father. I don't know what I did to deserve such wonderful children, but it makes me want to strive daily to be a perfect mom. I love my children so much and I'm thankful that Heavenly Father would trust me enough to raise them. I hope that I can teach them and help them to have strong testimonies and to be righteous children. They are so fun and make me smile, we have a wonderful happy future ahead of us!

Your children are so darling,fun, and determined. It's nice Caleb was late so I could stay longer and enjoy the days with all of you.
It is nice that Dyann and Dan brought good weather with them so you could play.

Enjoy the sticker books. Hopefully they will keep Ty and Mara busy.

Please have a rest every day. Give Caleb extra loves from Mimi.
