Kindle was Blessed

This Sunday (as in yesterday), Kindle was blessed by her dad, in our new ward. My parents were here for that. Wes gave her a great blessing! He talked about her name and her little personality and about the blessings she has and will have. It was very well done and very sweet! She is a very lucky girl. I want to quote the section of her blessing that spoke of her name, as I know that at least my family will appreciate it:

"We have chosen the name Kindle because of its meaning, to ignite, to spark, to arouse, to stimulate. We bless you to stimulate to do good things. We bless you to be the spark that builds faith and to ignite those around you with your enthusiasm and example.

We have chosen Catherine after your great-aunt Cathy, who was an example of love, charity, and service to all those around her. We bless you to continue in that tradition."

There were many other great things she was blessed with, and we were so grateful to have my dad in the circle with Wes to give that blessing to her. Here are some pics from yesterday:

Thanks for sharing! She looks beautiful, and you, too. SO nice to have a husband who honors the priesthood, no? Congratulations! We miss you all.
