What a Blessing


We blessed Drue yesterday. It was a beautiful, sunny Valentine's Day-the perfect day to bless our little sweetie. The chapel was packed because there were two farewells along with Drue's blessing. Luckily, we made it to the church early enough to save a couple of benches. Mark did a great job, as always. And I cried, as always. Each of my kids' blessings have been wonderful, but it was especially neat to have Drue blessed. There is something about having a little girl. I had heard many people talk about it, and never really believed it. But, now that I have a daughter I can tell you, it's true. Drue is such a joy. It is fun to dress her, to buy her little bracelets, to put bows in her hair, there is definitely a connection there that is a little different. Besides all that, she sleeps through the night, and has for at least a month now! She only cries when she's hungry or stinky. (None of my boys cared when they were stinky!) It has really been a blessing to have her in our home, and her sweet disposition allows me to keep up with Noah and his less than sweet disposition ;). We are so thankful for our little Drue.

I know what you mean about girls being so different. And it just keeps getting better and better at least until they are 4 (that is as far as I know). She is such a cutie.

She looks darling. I love blessing days (kind of)..kinda stressful at times, but sounds like it went great. I will just have to believe you about a little girl because we are going to experience it!! Too bad for us, but I am glad you got a girl!

Oh, lil' Drubie! She is sweet. Peyton can't get enough of her! She's begging me to look at those pictures AGAIN! It was a fun day and Mark DID do a great job.
