Baby Owen's Baby Blessing

Baby Owen was blessed on March 26th.  It worked out really nice that Grandpa from Utah was here visiting that weekend on a business trip.  So Owen was able to have all of the Routsong uncles and both of his grandfathers bless him.  It was a beautiful spring day.  Owen was given a very handsome blessing outfit by his Grandma in Utah who could not be there.  He is 4 and a half months old, so he is a lot older and did not sleep through his blessing, but he was awake and happy the whole time.  Grandpa told us that he was smiling at Nate during the blessing because he may have thought that Nate was talking to him.  Sweet boy!  Here are some of the things our Owen was blessed with:

Owen was told he is such a blessing and a joy and has a special place in our family.  and that we are thankful for his many smiles.   He was blessed to know how important he is to Heavenly Father and to his family.   Owen was blessed to be faithful and loyal to those around him and to look to his older brothers and sisters who are examples to him.  He was blessed to be strong and healthy to accomplish his goals.  He was blessed that he would make choices that would be pleasing to Heavenly Father and his earthly family.  Owen was blessed that he would be able to be sensitive to the spirit and recognize inspiration from Heavenly Father and be able to make choices that will bring joy.  He was blessed to know how special his name is, feel a connection to the uncles for whom he carries their names, and look to them for direction.

We are truly so grateful for this sweet little boy of ours.  He is pure innocence and joy.
