Today we are happy to announce that Emilie had her very special baby blessing today, and Emilie is now on the records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a very sacred and special day for us, and we all were so very excited! Most of Scott's family were able to attend yesterday, which is why we postponed the blessing for so long. One of the brethren had peeked at her right before the prayer started and saw that she was smiling up, happy and content in the hands of her dad (Scott), grandfather, her uncle Derek, the bishopric and home teacher. It was an exciting moment as she was named and blessed in front of our small branch/church! Despite the horrible audio recording, that was totally inaudible, but passible to transcribe, I was able to write down the blessing! I will not post the blessing on here, but will send them to close family and friends who request it, via email. Afterward at church, we gathered in the beautiful sun outside, (yes it was sunny and warm despite winter!) and George and Sloan ran around and had the times of their lives, while George's nursery teacher took a quick picture of Emilie, Scott and I as she screamed with colic pains. We are so happy to live in our new ward/branch, and love the beautiful countryside that is all around, the breeze rolling over the hills, and our church friends who have folded us in their arms of friendship and took us in like family. Thank you too all we were able to come share this special day with us <3
