Since we had a bunch of family around (12-31-09) we wanted to bless Colton so they could be apart of it. My mom, Dan, Hunter, Daniel, & Adrienne were here from Utah and Mom & Dad McArthur, Aunt Jenny from Idaho, & Aunt Katie from Minnesota. Bishop Schetzner and his wife came over to join us. We also had my dad, Devin, Gavin, & Blake on Skype and Lori on the phone so they could all witness it as well. Doug offered a beautiful blessing that resonated missionary work.
To my dear Colton,Your sweet and pure spirit brought immediate joy and love to my life. I sense your spirit to be wise, noble, and calm. Speaking of calm, Dad frequently referred to you as the "peacemaker" and I hope you live up to the title. Your brothers truly delight in your presence and welcomed you into our family with big hugs and enthusiasm. I feel so blessed we endured the 9 months together, wow it was rough. I'm so thankful you are in my arms and out of my belly. My love for you was immediate and my heart wants to hold you and love you all day long.
Eternally your earthly mother,
Mom

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet love note to Colton. He is adorable and very well loved.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...could your boys be any more adorable?! Do you think Hannah could have her pick of one someday? ;) (j/k) What an incredible mother you are. I'm so glad again that Colton made it here healthy and strong despite your rough pregnancy.
