Bryant's Blessing

Bryant was blessed on Aug. 30th. Two of Tim's brothers and one sister were in town, so we decided to take advantage of the opportunity and bless him. I cleaned the house and made lots of food for a luncheon on Saturday. We borrowed a cute little white tux from Tim's sister. Everything was going well. Then Tim spent the whole night throwing up. We couldn't really postpone it, so he dragged himself out of bed and put on a suit. Despite his illness the blessing went well. I could feel the spirit in the room and the love both his father and Heavenly Father feels for our precious baby boy.


My uncle and a couple of cousins also attended to represent the Despain side. I know both of Bryant's grandfathers were there in spirit as well. They would have loved to play with this newest grandson. He is such a happy little boy and we feel so blessed to have him in our family.

The luncheon went well, though Tim stayed in our room to try to avoid infecting others. My good friend Amber taught me how to make focaccia bread and it was a big hit. It was wonderful to have so many family members here and I'm grateful they were able to stay and wish us well with our new little one.
