Last Sunday, our handsome little man was blessed. His daddy, aka our handsome big man, did a beautiful job on the blessing and it was so great to have our family and friends there to celebrate with us.
My friend Becca told me a few weeks ago that she had always thought of the day your first baby was blessed as the day that you became a real family. And, while I feel like Mike and I have been a family for quite a while, I also understand the meaning of her statement. Having that little baby in your arms is what gives your family this sudden, special, indescribable spark of beauty.
Hearing Mike bless Eli was so sweet, a father expressing all his righteous hopes for his newborn son. And then, there was the part that is forever my favorite during any blessing: when the daddy holds up his newborn baby for everyone to see. Eli was totally passed out, his little arms dangling and a perfectly calm expression on his face. How perfect.
Oh! How exciting and sweet. He is one cute little boy and you look...amazing!!!! Oh my goodness!
