Tildy's blessing did happen....over two months ago.
I love the spirit I feel each time we bless one of our children. It is one of those moments in life where I feel my Heavenly Father close. And what a blessing these moments are to me...they are what strengthen my testimony of our Heavenly Father. This is why I can't pass up the opportunity to write about Tildy's blessing day...or at least document it. It was special to pull out the dress and bow Ruby wore and put it on Tildy for her special day. I hope Tildy will develop a relationship with all her siblings, and I especially hope she and Ruby will form a sister bond of love.

Mathilda was my Grandma Meyer's sister name. My grandma called her sister Tildy, which I have always loved. Rose comes from Hugh's grandma Jeppson, whose name is Helen Rose.

The wonderful women/girls in Tildy's life.
I feel blessed to have Tildy's sweet spirit in our home and to be her mother. I love baby blessings and watching Hugh use the priesthood to give our children a blessing to get them started in this world.
