Elena Rosalynn Hernandez

As you all know, Sunday was Father's Day. Here at our house, we had 3 Father's present. I find it especially special (is that redundant?) that we got to bless little Elena on Father's Day. What an awesome treat.

We were able to have the whole family (minus Laura's husband) here over the weekend and both brothers, Alex and Anthony came to be in the blessing circle. Every time I know there's a blessing coming up, whether it's for a baby or a calling, I always intend to write it down so that the person it's intended for can remember those special words, because a sweet girl did that for me once, yet I'm always so flustered right before the blessing and forget. So, I only remembered a few phrases from the blessing. I'm glad the Angels in Heaven record every good thing so that I don't have to rely on me remembering.
Here is what I remembered..before I sadly zoned out due to sleep deprivation haha.. must've been the most important parts. :)

The name in which you have been given and will be known by will be Elena Rosalynn Hernandez. 

I bless you to be a virtuous daughter of your Heavenly Father.

I bless you to show love to your parents, to your siblings and friends and especially to your Father in Heaven.

I bless you that as the perils of life come upon you, you will turn to Jesus Christ for His strength. 

In the dress that I made her. :)

I feel extremely blessed to have such wonderful fathers in my life - my dad, my father-in-law and Jonathan, the father of our children. Not many can say they have such wonderful people in their lives. I'm glad my husband stepped up to the plate and consistently takes care of his family through love and hard work. I know I always say this, but I'm abundantly blessed.
