Todds Baby Blessing

Nathan and I decided to have little Toddy blessed in a more intimate setting

at Dad Hofstetter's home with many of our family members in attendance.

We named Todd after Nathan's brother who passed away as a young man

from a car accident leaving behind his loving wife

Annette and two young boys Tyler and Jonah.

Since Annette and the boys were coming down for a visit

we thought it would be special to have Tyler participate in Todds baby blessing. 

 (We are so proud of Tyler because he is leaving for his mission this

Wednesday to serve for two years in the Calgary Alberta mission field.)

Nathan gave a beautiful blessing to our son!

Not a lot of dry eyes in the room!

The spirit was strong and Nates brother Todd and his moms

presence was strongly felt!

I included a few pictures of his blessing day below!
