Blessing of Audrey May Rossiter: 10-17-10

A beautiful morning, slightly raining, but a wonderful morning to bless Audrey. This Sunday morning wasn't a traditional fast Sunday on which a baby is blessed. We changed it to the 3rd Sunday of the month (the first was General Conference.) My parents couldn't be here the second Sunday due to my niece being baptized in Utah. So we asked if it would be o.k. to have it on the 17th of October. Our bishop agreed, so we invited a few family members and friends to be a part of our daughters special day.

Ryan invited a few men to be in the blessing circle: Ron Rossiter, his dad, Steve Worsley, my dad, Lance Smith, brother in law, Mike Miller, family friend, Ricky Ingram, cousin, Jason Stringfellow, cousin, and Joel Henriod, friend. We felt privilidged for having the friends and family come support our family and little Audrey. It's not easy to be to a 9 am Sunday Sacrament Meeting, but we appreciate our family and friends who came. A special thanks to my parents, Steve and Cheryl Worsley, who made the drive from Utah. It was a stressful time, but they came anyway. Thank you Dad and Mom.

Ryan gave Audrey a wonderful, sweat blessing of strength, spirit and guidance. I took notes in my journal and my mom jotted a few down on the back of the program. Not sure if we'll be able to make sense of our short hand, but we did our best to get as much of what Ryan said so Audrey can read it some day.
