The Blessing

 The event everyone came for was the blessing of our sweet Pierce Olsen Romney. It was a beautiful church service and the blessing Mike gave to Pierce was so sweet and inspired. He is a special spirit and I am so excited to see who he becomes. 
Mike blessed him that he would see the needs of others, be kind, be able to recognize the Spirit guiding his life, that he would love learning and education, that he would love his brothers, honor his parents, that he would serve a mission, and marry the woman he loves in the temple and so much more. 
It's interesting as he gave him that blessing filled with all our hopes and dreams for him, I couldn't help but realize that these are God's hopes for him too. There is so much potential and light in these little ones and I feel so blessed to be a part of their lives, to help them figure out to share and express that light what a tremendous responsibility and blessing.

His cute little outfit that he pooped all over at church...that is why there is only one picture. Isn't that always how it goes?  Blowouts on all white clothing :). Undershirt in the trash at church and outfit soaking in the laundry area. Oh well, you can't expect perfect.

We had great food! Curry chicken salad sandwiches (recipe to come!), our "go to" salad with  lettuce, green apples, craisins, sweet and spicy pecans and feta cheese with vidalia onion dressing, pineapple and oranges with toasted coconut, gluten free chocolate chip cookies and chocolate caramel bars--deeelicious!

It was just a wonderful day and one I will always remember. We love our Piercey so much!
