April's Blessing
April was very calm and sweet during Sacrament meeting today (actually during all 3 hours of church). I was nervous about how she would be. She didn't eat too great before church. I felt like I was force feeding her to time it right. She was a perfect little angel for her Blessing. So sweet, calm and alert. My brother Nathan told me that during her baby blessing she reached down and held his hand for the whole thing. He had never experienced that before. Ron blessed April with joy and safety in living the gospel. He told her to stay close to her mother and Grandmas. I thought this really sweet considering she was named after her Great Grandma Julia. He spoke of her being an example to others. I like to think about the kind of person she will be. I picture this sweet little brown-eyed brunette going about quietly doing good.
Because he was conducting Ron bore his testimony in Sacrament meeting. He got choked up a couple times speaking about our family and having April. It was a little bittersweet. (I've honestly never seen him cry) I was surprised when he talked about not really being ready for a fourth child but how glad he was that I had pushed for it. He spoke about looking at pictures of Mason, Noah, and Callie when Callie was a baby. Those pictures reminded him of the joy that comes from adding another sibling. I love listening to him up on the stand.
I love this little crazy family of mine!
