Nathaniel's Blessing

I've had such a busy week, so I'm a little behind, but our little man was blessed on Sunday. Here he is pictured with Nanny after Sunday meetings at our ward's 'munch and mingle'. We had a lovely day as a family, kate was able to make it, but poor Rich and Chessy were snowed in, we missed them, but they are visiting for Valentines day.

We had a very chilled Sunday morning, with pancakes, bacon, sausage & eggs for breakfast. Jarom and Tayler thought they were in a hotel, they loved it. Nathaniel was at his best and very chilled. Grandpa was busiest, having to teach Sunday school and give a talk in Sacrament meeting!

Jason gave Nathaniel a lovely blessing. He has given each of our boys lovely blessings, each one brief and straight to the point. One of the things he blessed Nathaniel with that stands out in my mind is Reverence. At the time I thought - 'Oh boy, if this boy needs to be blessed with reverence, then what do we have to look forward to in the future? Is he really going to be that hard to handle?' Seriously though, reverence is one of my favourite things, as the Primary song says - it's more than just quietly sitting, it's thinking of Father above, and if I'm blessed with a son who sincerely turns his thoughts to his Heavenly Father every day I will feel very blessed indeed.
