Blessing Day & Birthday!

Today we blessed the babies. :) It was fun to do it today because it is also Nelson's 33rd birthday! We were lucky to have some family come in and be with us. It is our first visitors from Nelson's side of the family since we moved here over a year ago! So that was exciting! We were so glad that they could come and be in the circle at church. It was also my first day going back to church and luckily there were others to help me. Although I spent the 2nd and 3rd hours in the nursing room! It was still fun to see people and go to church, although a little stressful.

All in all, it was a great day and their blessings were fantastic. A friend of mine, who had twin boy and girl also, took notes for me during their blessings! So that was nice and something I will always have.

All day I couldn't help but think of what a blessing it is for me to have these two sweet miracles. How sad Nelson and I were to lose the first set of twins we had, over 11 years ago. Every time I saw another twin blessing at church, I longed for my own twin babies. Although I know I will have an opportunity to have my first set again, my appreciation for these two is so great, my heart is bursting.  It is fitting that it is called a blessing...not only were they receiving their blessing and a name from Heavenly Father, but it is truly a day for me to count my own blessings.

I have many...but today, it is about these two.
