Erica's blessing

Photos posted of Erica and the family
It is true that participating in the ordinances of the priesthood provides you with opportunities to have your faith increased. Giving Erica her name and a blessing today was such an event for me. Erica is a very special girl, reserved for a special work in preparing the way for our Savior's return.

I really love this photo of her. She is dressed in the outfit worn by Shawnie, Brittany, and Megan when they were blessed. The blanket used was sent by Erica's Great-Grandma Leonard.

One other thing to note, Megan lost here two front teeth this week. She has been very self conscious of the loss. Shawnie pulled the first one out when it was dangling Wednesday night. Megan cried because she wanted to loose it at school. It was placed in a plastic bag so she could take it to school and show her teacher. Apparently, anyone loosing a tooth in the class gets a special container for the tooth and some other gift.

The next tooth came out Saturday afternoon when Megan's Grandpa Crane asked if he could pull it out for her. Surprisingly she said yes! Since Megan didn't show the first tooth to her teacher on Friday (she stayed home from school sick on Thursday), she now has her two front teeth in a plastic sandwich bag waiting to accompany her to school tomorrow.

Enjoy the pictures.
