A Blessing

We blessed Spencer at three months and it was a good thing as he barely fit into his little white tux! He dramatically outweighed Elsie at three months and continues strong. There must be some Dutch-recessive in this little boy. His little collar didn't really have a neck to hug, so it became a piece of "tasty" silk for Spencer's little tongue to feel.

Spencer was blessed at our chapel in Ipswich surrounded by good friends who have become like family. We felt very fortunate our friends Poppy and Johan could be there.

Spencer's blessing day couldn't have been more beautiful. A snowstorm passed through the night before, leaving the ground dressed in white for his blessing day. The drive to church under the umbrella of snow-covered trees and view of untouched pastures was absolutely breath-taking.

From Spencer Everett Crowell

Corey gave a beautiful blessing--feelings which are tenderly treasured in my journal. It always seems as though reverence immediately enters the room as priesthood holders encircle a baby and heaven feels that much closer. What a gift life is. What a blessing you are to us, sweet Spencer.
