Austin's blessing day was truly a blessed day. It brought tears to my eyes to see this tiny, precious life being surrounded by stalwart priesthood holders...a father, uncles and grandpas. Austin did great and didn't make a peep. It was a beautiful blessing for this precious little one...what a wonderful life he has ahead of him.

I had a little "Marianne moment" on Austin's blessing day after church when we all came back to the house for lunch. I was nursing Austin in his room and was listening to everyone talking and laughing downstairs. As I was sitting there, this quilt caught my eye and I suddenly became aware of a missing voice. Marianne had made this quilt before she passed away and Mom found it among her things. I thought about her making this quilt for a baby she knew she would never meet and how much she would have loved Austin. What a special treasure Austin will have to remind him of his angel Auntie who loved him long before he was born.
