Baby Blessing

My family drove in from Kansas on Saturday for the baby blessing on Sunday. It was the first time in eight years that all six siblings have been in the same place at the same time. That was exciting. The baby blessing went well. My father, Victor, my brother, the EQP, Bishop, Valerie's Uncle Rob and my Uncle Allen, stood in the circle. I don't have the transcript of the blessing of course but one particular part of the blessing stands out to me; it went something like, "you have been blessed with zeal unto stubbornness." In another part the blessing said that Sydney came to our family because of her personality and that Heavenly Father was very particular about her placement.
