Merrick's blessing

We did things differently this time.  On October 9th, we blessed Merrick in Show Low, AZ.  This time we did it in a house rather than in church.  It just worked out better that way so that certain family and friends could be there.  We went to Show Low for the weekend and we stayed and blessed Merrick at the Pratt's house.  They are so amazing, I don't know what we would do without them.  My dad was able to drive down from Colorado for the day and that alone was amazing to hang out with him for a few hours.  We had Dad, Nate's mom, the Pratt's, Mike Pettingill, Nate's Aunt Kim and family there for it.  It was very nice to just have it be people that we are close to.  Nate did great with the blessing, and I know he was nervous.  It was beautiful and very sweet.  Afterwards, we had lunch for everyone and it was just perfect. We are so glad that he is in our lives now.
