Nate is Blessed

On Saturday, March 17th, 2012 we blessed Nathaniel Joel Meyers.  We blessed Nate on Saturday at our home so we could Skype with Kyle's parents in Sri Lanka during the blessing.  This way Kyle's parents would be able to be a part of this special occassion even though they cannot be physically present.  We had set the blessing time to be 7:30 pm on Saturday evening, but then my dad was singing in our stake's living pictures presentation "A Night in Zarahemla" and needed it pushed back 15 minutes.  So it ended up being around 7:45 pm.  We had dinner with everyone who came around 6 o'clock pm so everyone could eat prior to the blessing.  My house was super busy that evening with all of the aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins that came to share in Nathaniel's blessing.  Grandpa Reddington, Uncle Jason, Uncle Scott, Uncle Danny, Jason VanLeuven, and Bishop Crane joined Kyle in the circle to bless Nathaniel.  Uncle Jason even got to remind Bishop Crane to stand on Kyle's right shoulder.  It was a wonderful evening.  The timing even turned out great since the bishop was just barely getting back from a camping trip and got to our home around the same time as my father.  Many people headed home after the blessing.  Crystal, Danny and their three children headed back to Blackfoot.  Jason, Angie and their four kids went back to Star, Idaho.  Caitlin, Scott and Catherine were considering going back to Boise, but after Jason called saying it was snowing hard on the freeway between here and Twin they decided to wait until Sunday morning to leave.  Elisa and Shayne took off early Sunday morning (5am) to get back to Moscow that evening.  Great-Grandma Reddington even came down for the blessing and headed back to Boise on Satruday evening with her visiting teacher that gave her a ride.  It was a busy day, but wonderful to have all those who came join us for this special event.
