Matt gave Madelyn her baby blessing on May 7th.  My dad, Bishop Tom McHoes, Steven Hall, Dale Clyde, and Jon Bird stood in the circle with him.  It was such a sweet, tender blessing.  Tears came to my eyes as I felt Heavenly Father's love for our precious daughter.  I can't remember everything that Matt said in the blessing, but I do remember that he began by saying that she has come to the earth during a time of great challenge and great opportunity.  She will have the opportunity to get a good education and get sealed in the temple.  Heavenly Father blessed her with a desire to share the Gospel and that she will be an instrument of great change in people's lives.  I really believe that's true.  She is such a sweet, tender baby.  I'm so proud of her and grateful that Heavenly Father sent her to our family.

| The day before her blessing we tried on her dress and took some pictures. |

| Reagan and Madelyn are crazy about each other. |

| Look at that sweet face! |

| Don't you love Kirsten's outfit? |

| Unfortunately, Kirsten usually asks to hold her after Reagan is done.  So, Madelyn is usually crying by the time Kirsten holds her. |

What a spirit-filled day!
