Song for the day is... "Baby, Baby" sung by Amy Grant

I was honored and privileged to be invited, by my daughter, to assist her in the labor and delivery of her firstborn. She had son she and James named Aidan. It brought me back to my own babies and I recalled and relived the wonder that is the miracle of birth assisting and viewing Danette work so hard for so long to finally deliver a healthy, beautiful baby boy. We are all so happy.

Danette was magnificent in her labor. She was truly awesome. Amanda and Yvonne were spectacular labor and delivery nurses. Danette is so thrilled to be a mommy. Aidan is just perfect. He arrived just in time, he weighed just the right amount and his eyes, nose, mouth, hands and feet are just right. We thank the Lord for His mighty power and recognize His hand in this miracle.

The Song for today is... "Love is in the Air"

It's winter but hearts are warm and happy. There has been a wedding. It brings families together and reminds us of how much we love each other. What a happy and glorious day.

The festivities started the day before when friends got into town and we started decorating the hall for the ring ceremony and reception. We turned a basketball court into a 'winter wonderland' with trees, lights strung from across the ceiling and red and silver trim everywhere.

The day of the wedding was perfect. The sky was a soft pale blue, the temperature a cool 78 degrees and the company upbeat and hopeful. The couple was so happy it glowed on their faces. The temple ceremony was wonderful, the ring ceremony lovely, and the reception was filled with fun, family, friends and frolic. People came even after the couple had left for their honeymoon.

We must thank all those who have a had a part in making the couple happy.
