On Sunday Travis was able to give Carter a name and a blessing. It was such a great experience for us. I remember praying the whole time Carter was in the Hospital that we would never have to hurry and give him a blessing, because we weren't sure if we would be able to after. To be able to bless him at church was absolutely amazing! It was so normal and felt so good to be able to do it in front of our ward who has been nothing short of AMAZING!
One of the reason's that I wanted to be able to bless him after the hospital other than family being able to be present was that I was hoping he would be able to wear the blessing outfit Boston wore. It's the same one that my Uncles, brothers, cousins and pretty much all the boys on my Mom's side of the family wore when they were blessed. I think it is such a great tradition. I love the thought of something that special being shared for generations.
Trav did such a great job. He was beyond nervous, which is so not him. When he sat down he was already saying that he wished he would have said more. Lucky for him Carter hasn't and I don't think ever will have a shortage of needs for blessings. It was so special to me to have my Brother there. He is the only Priesthood member in my immediate family and I was beyond happy to have him be a part of it.
We sure love our sweet little Miracle boy. He is such a blessing in our lives and pretty much everyone who meets him lives as well for that matter. There is something so special about him. I feel very blessed to be a Mom to two sweet boys. Life really doesn't get much better than this.
