We blessed Carson Adelbert Lott on November 1, 2009. Jordan gave him a beautiful blessing. For me, it was a very emotional day. My parents weren't able to make it because they are serving the Lord which I know that is where they are needed and I do see blessings from it. But knowing that doesn't mean that it was easy not having them there. I did okay through the blessing but a lady in our ward got up to bear her testimony and spoke of her dad. I lost it! I wanted my parents there to share this special day with us and for my dad to be part of the circle. I was able to gather myself and felt comforted knowing that 5 of my siblings were able to be there which I appreciate the effort that they made to be there.
After the blessing, we drove to Jerome where we had lunch. It was good to be gathered with family and friends. Thanks to all who came and was apart of this special day!

Oh Heather, I'm sorry. I'm really close to my dad, and it would have been hard for me to not have him there too. I'm glad you have a good outlook on it though and that a lot of the family could be there. What a cute little family you have. I had fun looking at all the pictures.
What a cute family you are. Carson is just adorable. I know how you feel about not having your parents around for such important parts of parenting. I sure feel the same way. Thank goodness for a wonderful supportive family. We are both lucky for that. You look just great after having a baby. What an attractive family!
