Owen's Baby Blessing

-
On Sunday, December 28, 2014 Owen was given a name and a Priesthood blessing by his loving father, Dustin Cornelius. 
We were able to perform his baby blessing at home so we could include all of the grandparents, who live in different states, via Skype video phone.  It was a beautiful blessing and we are so honored to have such amazing men stand in the Priesthood circle for our beautiful baby boy.  We are truly grateful for the kind friends we have made here in TX that have become as dear to us as our own family.  We also feel very blessed to live in a time when we can share this special day with our close family and friends despite living so far from our extended family. 
We want you to know, Owen, how much we love you.  You are a gift from heaven and we look forward to getting to know and love you more with each passing year.  You have many people who love you and will help teach you the Gospel of Christ so that you can live a happy, full life.  Thank you for being our baby to hold and love.

That's awesome that you were able to Skype your family for the blessing.
And, I love the cute hats you made for your children. How did you decide which hat to make for each child?

I tried to find cute patterns that would use the yarn I already had on hand for Maeve and Owen's hats. It didn't hurt that I love dogs and Maeve has an affinity for Cookie Monster (she loves pointing to my Cookie Monster poster in the kitchen and saying "Cookie, Cookie!"). Rebekah's hat was from her Halloween costume I made last year, so that was easy, and Loyd and Xavier put in requests for their hats. So I guess you could say it was a mixture of inspiration, desperation, and exhortation that lead to the making of all of these fun hats. :)

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
