Today was a beautiful day. Liam was blessed at church today surrounded by a circle of men who love him–Bryce, my dad, Mark, Brad, Brock and Brother Baird (a friend and member of our bishopric). It was great to finally have an Austin in the circle at the blessing of one of our children! We missed Brett, but Memorial Day Weekend plans called him and his family elsewhere. Liam was blessed with health, a keen mind, and a strong testimony of his Savior. It was a lovely blessing. As with Calder and Easton, Liam got to wear Bryce’s blessing outfit for the special occasion. A recap in pictures:

Bryce is in blessing outfit in 1981.

Calder, December 2008 (2.5 months old)

Easton, 2011 (2.5 months)

Liam, May 2013 (5 weeks)

I’d forgotten until I posted these pictures that Calder and Easton were quite a bit older than Liam when they were blessed–hence the visible difference in size between those two and this little guy. They were practically bursting out of the outfit while it’s still plenty big on Liam. But no matter. A blessing day is just a lovely thing.
