We blessed Avery on January 6th. My Mom, Dad, Sister Shaleah and her family were able to come up for it. It was a wonderful Sunday. There were 3 little baby girls being blessed in our ward that day. All the blessings were beautiful.
I feel so blessed to have an amazing husband who lives his life in such a way that he is worthy to act in God's name and bless our family. He got emotional as he blessed Avery. These are some of the words of the blessing that I was able to jot down as Wesley spoke:
"Heavenly Father, we ask thee that thou might bless her to know that she has been born into a loving family that wants the best for her.
Bless her to always strive to grow closer to thee, to know thee and to gain a testimony.
Bless her with the desire to be baptized and to follow the path that leads back to thee.
Bless her to be a good example wherever she goes, that she might be a shining light.
Bless her with the desire to be educated.
Bless her to be a fine young woman, to be able to find a worthy companion and continue on the path to the celestial kingdom.
Bless her with the desire to want to be good and follow after her older brother, Jesus Christ."
We love our little Avery Hope.
A beautiful day with family and friends.
