A Blessed Weekend

        The weekend of October 26-27 was very exciting for our family.  We had two special events, a baptism and a baby blessing.  Our son, Duke, just turned 8 years old and decided to be baptized, so we decided that since our family would be here for that, we'd go ahead and do Flint's baby blessing the same weekend.  Our parents were all here, as well as my sister Katie and her family.  It was a wonderful weekend to celebrate the lives of these two boys, and the miracles we have been blessed with by our Heavenly Father. 
        Duke's baptism was Saturday afternoon, and he had a beautiful program with speakers and songs that he had chosen.  He was SO excited to be baptized and had worked hard to prepare himself for this special event.  After Brock baptized him, Duke just glowed with joy!  Duke is so sweet, and the Spirit just shines through his kind disposition.  Man, I love him!

 

        On Sunday morning, Brock blessed Flint during our sacrament meeting at church.  The blessing Flint received was powerful and sacred, with many promises that the Spirit will compensate for what is missing in his brain.  Priesthood ordinances are real, and I am overwhelmed by the miracles that I know we will continue to see in Flint's life as he progresses!  As I've said before, I think one of Flint's main jobs is to reaffirm to us that God is actively involved in our life and his power to work miracles is unlimited. 

         We are so grateful for the wonderful weekend we enjoyed!  It was a blessing to have so many loved ones here with us (even though I never got a picture with all of them - URG!).  Our family is so supportive of us, and this special weekend was made even more wonderful by their attendance.  I feel so blessed!
