My Newest Student

I'm a little late getting around to birth announcements.  So let's not call it that.  Let's just welcome the newest student at Cedar Heights Academy! 


Isn't she sweet?

At our church we don't have what people would call a christening.  Instead we have a "blessing day" when the baby is presented to the congregation and her name is formally added to the church records.  This ordinance is performed by the father who, under direction of the holy spirit and by authority of the priesthood he holds, also takes the opportunity to give his child a blessing.  It's a big day.  A big deal.  Normally we have family come in and stay with us so they can attend this event.  Unfortunately, nobody was able to come this time. So it was just us celebrating our newest little member.  Still, it was lovely and tender.   We love our little one.  She brings the essence of heaven down with her and reminds me that our Hazel is still waiting for us there.
