Bryson's Baby Blessing

The week before Spring Break Jer learned he needed to be in the Philippines for a meeting on Friday the 12th (Sat Philippine time). His work generously paid for my dad to fly here so he could help me with the drive to Texas. My dad flew here Thursday morning the 11th and we had a blast having him along for the ride. My dad always makes me laugh.

We left after the girls got out of school that Friday the 12th and stopped in Oklahoma City for the night. We then drove to Houston on Saturday. All of the family was meeting there to attend Bryson's baby blessing. Jer flew into Houston from the Philippines Saturday afternoon.

Mom and Jamie drove over from San Antonio that night. We stayed at the beautiful Sugarland Marriott Town Square. I'd recommend staying there if you're ever in Sugarland.

We were up bright and early the next morning for church.

The reason we're all here

Matt gave Bryson a beautiful blessing. Matt's dad, 2 brothers, my dad, Jer, and several of Matt's friends all came from afar to bless this sweet new baby boy.

Ann,

HA!!! There were over 20 of us from out of town that had to eat somewhere. Joy and Matt's apartment could have never held all the out of towners for a lunch after.

Loved seeing all these pictures. So fun and special for all of you to be there for Bryson's blessing. I could feel the special feeling just looking at the pictures. It's getting me so excited for the three baby blessings in our family this summer. Bryson is such a darling little boy!
