Caelyn was blessed by Bob on Sept. 5. It was a beautiful blessing and we were so glad that some of our family could be here to share this day with us. Caelyn is our 1st child that has been blessed in our own ward. Usually we are able to have our baby blessed in Utah with all our family around, but we didn’t know when we’d be able to do it if we waited, so we picked Labor Day weekend and hoped for the best! Both sets of grandparents were able to make the trek down here for it as well as the Miller/Brannan bunch and the John Hancock family. Caelyn looked beautiful in her white dress and little bracelet and white bow. I was able to take some pictures the day before on a white blanket that Celeste crocheted several years ago. Her cousin Skylar also used the blanket for her blessing 6 years ago as did Ari 12 years ago. The pink and white blanket below was made by Grandma Spann for Caelyn.
