Blessings





Boy howdy, have I got a lot to catchup on! Story of my life. One of the highlights in the past month was that we got to bless Lyla while we were at Bear Lake for the Eyre reunion. It was so neat to be surrounded by so many family members for the blessing. I couldn't help but think of when we blessed McKay 2 1/2 years ago in Houston at my parent's house. Wow, time really does fly. Noah gave her a beautiful blessing. It was a special experience for me and I feel like I got a better glimpse of the way God sees this little bundle of Joy and what she is going to be like. During the blessing I peeked to see how McKay was behaving and watched him walk right in the middle and stop underneath his little sister with his head raised and stared in awe. He probably understands this better than I know. I can't stand how much I love these two kids we've been given. Being a mom of two is the best thing in the world. I feel so blessed!
