Since grandpa's birthday was today, we did a dinner last night at Maddox. LaDawn has a younger brother, Gerald, who was adopted when he was a baby, and he surprised grandpa for his big day. Gerald is living in Oregon with his wife, Claire. I'm not going to go into much detail, but Claire is suffering from a couple of brain tumors. Due to her not being able to be left home alone for very long, Uncle Gerald flew down yesterday morning, and left early this morning. A quick trip, but it was great to see him. We missed Claire and send our love to her.
Lucky for me, LaDawn kept Devin's blessing outfit. Tanner got to be blessed in the exact same outfit as his daddy! Those kinds of things are always so special to me. I feel like it's family history. Hopefully, I will be able to keep the blessing outfit and Tanner's boys could use it too. (If he want to!) Tanner looked so handsome wearing it!
God works in mysterious ways. Yesterday, Devin literally had no voice. He was so worried that he wouldn't be able to speak and give Tanner his blessing. His dad and brother came over and gave him a special blessing. This morning he woke up and has been talking like nothing has happened. The blessing that he gave Tanner was beautiful. He blessed him with everything a mother could want for her child. It really was just wonderful.
Last night it snowed literally all night long. We got probably close to 7 inches. Due to the fact that it was snowing so bad, some of our family wasn't able to make it to his blessing. We were sad they weren't here with us but so, so happy that they were home safe. It was scary driving even in just Wellsville! We met at my parents house after sacrament meeting and had a baked potato bar. Delicious!
I'm so grateful for the church in our lives and for the power of the priesthood. I'm so grateful that Tanner came into our life when he did. This snowy day tuned out just perfect!
