01/01/09 Lincoln’s blessing day was awesome. We had so many family members and friends there to support us, that it was amazing. Anthony and I were very grateful that so many people love us and are so willing to be involved in our lives. I think our family took up half of the chapel, leaving the people in our ward to look for seats. It meant so much to us that Anthony was able to be the one to bless our (not so little - almost four month old) baby, and to officially give him the name Lincoln Ryder Alleman. The blessing Anthony gave Lincoln was so special. It was more beautiful than I can describe in words. It was truly a blessed day for our family. It is amazing how much a child can change everything about your life in a heartbeat. Little Lincoln has already had such an amazing influence in our lives and we look forward to watching him continue to bring out the good in others.
We had an incredible testimony meeting after the blessing and were very lucky to have several family members and friends bear witness of the truthfulness of the gospel. Our hearts were definitely filled with the spirit and were so humbled. After the blessing it was so much fun to have everyone over to our humble abode. I am surprised that we were able to fit everyone in our little house; we were lucky no one seemed to mind standing! We were very grateful that so many people helped us out with all of the delicious food. Seriously, the food was so yummy. Thanks so much again to all of our friends and family for everything you do for us and for your wonderful examples.
