What a beautiful day for a Baby Blessing. The honor was all mine to perform a baby blessing for Xavier Matthew Midea. this afternoon. Parents Miranda and Stephen were beaming with pride with their adorable little boy.

The blessing ceremony was held at Plum Creek Park in Brunswick Hills. This lucky little guy is blessed with four godparents and five grandparents.

Just when we were ready to begin, Xavier had other plans. He decided he was hungry and wanted to eat right then. But no one cared that the ceremony was just a bit delayed.

So then when his little tummy was full, he was quite happy to cooperate and gurgled and smiled all the way through the ceremony - including his blessing with rose petals in blessed water.

All present vowed to bless, protect, love and support Xavier for the rest of his life. And what a blessing for me to be a small part of this beautiful day for Xavier, Miranda and Stephen. Wishing them a happy and healthy life together.
