Baby Blessings Are Special!

We recently attended the Baby Blessing of our newest granddaughter, Penny.


The McClellan family came to participate in the event. Courtney and Elizabeth had specially curled hair for the occasion!

Later that day Heidi and family hosted everyone for a very delicious dinner. Here are the kids eating their dessert:


And we even got a picture of the entire Harrison family after church on the big day:

It was also the blessing day of Daniel in Kyiv:


But what made the day most special to me were some comments made by the bishop of the Harrison Park Ward. I think I sometimes take for granted and feel it's almost routine for babies to be blessed in our church. But he pointed out what a wonderful and unique thing it is for a father to be able to stand up before God and the church to give his new child a patriarchal blessing. It's not routine and when you think about all the babies born in the world only a very, very few have this wonderful event in their lives!
