The Blessing of the Babe

Ogg blessed Hugh on Sunday. It went wonderfully! He got kinda fussy right before, so I ran out to the mom's room to give him a little snack, counting on there being a bunch of announcements (there always are!!). Unfortunately, about 2 minutes into feeding him, I hear the Bishop say, "We have the opportunity to witness a baby blessing...." and I totally start panicking cause Hugh is NOT a happy chappy when I stop him from eating when he's not done! So I quickly set him down on my lap, try to yank my shirt down as fast as possible and I literally ran out the door! Ogg comes wandering out of the chapel wondering where the heck I am and I hand him the babe just praying that he doesn't freak out, cause Ogg's stressed out enough!

Luckily, he didn't make a peep! My dad, Ogg's dad, Bishop Galt and Ogg were in the circle. They all told me after the blessing was over and they opened their eyes, Hugh had a HUGE smile on his face! We're talking like the biggest, gummiest kind of smile...ear to ear! How adorable is that!? What a precious boy we have. We just fall in love with him more and more every day. Pictures to come.
