I have always felt that the day each of my children are blessed they look like angels. Completely innocent and perfect, dressed in all white. Eyes wide eyed and bright to the world before them. Waiting to learn so many things but already perfectly knowing how to feel love. Their knowledge of heaven still so fresh, that feeling of awe that they have recently been in the presence of our Father in Heaven. Also in the presence of others that we love. For me of course Ethan and Dylan. As I looked at him I saw an angel and wondered what had it been like for him and his two older brothers as he prepared to leave them and come to the earth. Just holding him makes me feel so close to them since he has seen them so recently. Oh how I miss them. I just couldn't stop looking at Hudson and thinking how angelic he looked. He has such a strong spirit about him, I can feel it. I know that may sound silly because he is a baby, but I can. Hudson is our first baby born in a cool season. It has been fun for so many reasons. We had the neat opportunity to bless Hudson the day before Christmas Eve. We found him this cute knit blessing outfit that was perfect for the weather and looked so sweet on him.We combined his blessing with a cousin's baptism and it was just our family. More private and simple, really special. Deke gave him a beautiful blessing and cried the whole time. I love that Deke is so tender about his family. He loves his kids so much. He asked to get a picture of him and the boys. Again I couldn't stop thinking about the two little freckled faces missing from this picture.
