Baptism and Blessing

My boys in white.

Saturday was a very special day for our family.  Peanut chose to be Baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  We also had Fuzzy blessed.  Peanut wanted to be baptized by Ry and he chose his Grandpa P to confirm him.  Grandpa P and Peanut have always had a special bond.  On the day that he was born, Peanut was alert and aware of his surroundings.  Minutes after he was born, he locked eyes with Grandpa, with a look that said "hey, I KNOW you!"  It was like souls speaking to one another, it was so sweet, and from that instant, they have been buddies.  Anyway, Grandpa gave Peanut such an amazing blessing!  The spirit was so strong in that room.  One thing that really stood out for me was that he was blessed with the ability to bless others with his testimony and example.  Thank you Grandpa P for such a beautiful blessing.

After the baptism, Ry gave Fuzzy a name and a blessing.  Fuzzy was blessed that he would be close to his family, both those here on earth, as well as those that have passed on, and that he would have a special connection to those in heaven.  He was told that he was surrounded by lots of people that love and support him.  It was a wonderful blessing.

My Mom gave the closing prayer, and spoke of the "Circle of Love" that our boys were surrounded by as they were blessed with Priesthood authority, and how blessed we are to have such a wonderful support of family and friends throughout our lives.  Thank you to all that came to celebrate these special occasions with us.  We love you all.
