Our little Valerie Daisy was given her name and blessing on Dec 30th, 2011 at our home by her daddy, Brandon Glen Hauth. Her grandpa Russell, Uncle Trevon, as well as our good friends, Jeff Bishop and Doug Davis were able to take part in the blessing. It was a very special night for all of us. Great-Grandma Daisy was still in town as well as my mom, Grandma Cook and Brandon's mom, Grandma Jeanette. Aunt Erin and her kids and Aunt Coleen and their girls were also able to come, and Jill and Marcus. We had a little thought from Brandon on the significance of "a name" (Alma 5, Book of Mormon) and the kids sang "I am a Child of God" and Grandma Cook sang "Walk Tall, Your a Daughter" (it was so beautiful, I will include the lyrics at the end of this post.) We love our new little angel and are so grateful she is a part of our family.
We've had a lot of illness going through the family and unfortunately last night we had to take Valerie to the ER. She was diagnosed with RSV, which is like a bad cold but for a little baby it can be really scary since they are still developing their breathing techniques. She is doing ok for now and we are watching her very closely. She will be 8 weeks old on Monday, Jan 16th.
Walk Tall Your A Daughter Of God
Right now I have a prayer deep within my heart,
A prayer for each of you there is a special part.
That you remember who you are and him who lives above.
Please seek for him and live his way; You'll feel his love.
(chorus)
Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God,
Be strong and remember who you are,
Try to understand, you're part of his great plan.
He's closer than you know, Reach up; he'll take your hand.
Long before the time you can remember,
Our Father held you in his arms so tender.
Those loving arms released you as he sent you down to earth.
He said, "My child, I love you. Don't forget your great worth."
This life on earth we knew would not be easy.
At times we lose our way his path we may not see.
But remember always that you are not alone.
He'll take your hand, He loves you! He will guide you home.
(chorus)
Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God,
Be strong and remember who you are,
Try to understand, you're part of his great plan.
He's closer than you know, Reach up; he'll take your hand
