Blessings?

My brother and his wife finally were able to bring home their baby from the hospital after being born much to early.  She is so very cute and we just love holding her.  My mother is in grandma heaven and my father is still my father.  This brings me to the question:

My brother and his wife have asked me to give this little angel a name and a blessing this Sunday.  I am so excited, and worried.  I know that he has asked me and I am always excited to do this but I almost want him to know that even with it being a great honer for me it would be even that much more to our father.  Grandpa in many respects be the one doing this for them, showing them the power of the priesthood in the home and what benefits it can bring to faithful families in Zion.  So I am very conflicted over this, without making him feel bad or putting pressure on them I feel that it may be even that much better for him to do this for him.  So what do I do? How do I express my feeling of so much joy that they asked me and yet I think this is a job for grandpa?  Feel free to share your thoughts on this....

Weekend of Fun

This weekend was crazy fun!  First on Friday I had to go get a root canal done on one of my teeth.  (not much fun)  But Saturday was recovered by the Colorado FSA conference.  We went for the full day, they had many good seminars and classes to attend and learn from.  They had several panel discussions that were from both the adoptive couple side and from the birth mothers sides, and they even had one of people who were adopted. Every single discussion seemed to pull at our hearts.  We had such a great time seeing others who are a part of the FSA world, people who have adopted already, some like us that are waiting, and other that are just getting in to the adoption world.  We had a personal visitor show up at the conference and it was great that she could come to the conference.

Updates for the week

So the last post I had talked about us going to CPR training and I was hoping to post some great pictures of Miriam and the training dolls.  Well she did not let me take pictures of her and the dolls so I have no pictures.

This week is the FSA Colorado Conference and Miriam and I are so excited to go.  As always we hope that our families would be available to join us at the conference but as of now we have no family joining this time.  We are going to go to the Friday evening get together and dinner for adoptive couples.

Last year we went and had so much fun (even with all the crying) that we could not pass up the chance to go again.

We both are so excited that we both almost want to skip the work week and just go to the conference.

Miriam and I had the chance to go to Michael's home on Saturday and hold the little girl and she is so cute and we both would love to take her home with us (and I am sure when she is crying that her parents would not mind us taking her) but I know that her mom and dad would be so board without her.

As for the week we only have to get past the week to the weekend to enjoy the conference.
