Kater Tot

Kate, there is no doubt that your are already loved by many.  By just seeing all of the family members who came to your blessing you can tell.  What a wonderful day it was yesterday.  We all gathered together in the Relief Society room for your blessing.  You and I were one of the last to enter the room and when we came in I was nearly overcome by the spirit I felt there.  Every seat in the room was filled. We are so lucky to be a part of 2 really awesome families.

After your daddy gave you a really special blessing, we all went into the gym to have brunch.  You loved being held by everyone and we all loved being able to visit with one another.  You looked like an angel in your pretty white dress.

Just thinking about you being our youngest makes me think of myself.  I too was the caboose.  Luckily, I had tons of sisters just like you to look up to.  There have been many times that I have looked up to my sisters (and 1 brother) and have followed in their footsteps.  I am so lucky that they were such good examples for me.  I pray that your older sisters will be an example to you as well.  Just last week I called up my sister (Aunt Karen) to ask for some parenting advice.  After a few words of wisdom she said, "Jen, you know you now have more kids than I do!"  And to that I replied, "It doesn't matter, you are my older sister and I will always look up to you for advice.  You will always be an expert in my eyes just because you have gone before me."  I hope you always remember in life that you have many people to go to for help, starting with your sisters!  We love you, our little Kater Tot!
