The baby blessing was wonderful! Rick and Megan came down from Washington to see Liam for the first time and Rick participated in the priesthood blessing. Myrle was unable to come, but looks forward to flying down some time in the near future. Eric, Judy and the Browns also came down from Sonora and Jamestown for the blessing.
We named him Liam Garrett Guthrie. We chose
the name Liam because it was a name Anna and I both liked. Garrett is the last name of my great-great grandparents. From his birth all of us have been absolutely in love with this little man. So far he sleeps all day minus the evenings when he seems to be fussy. He is a hearty eater and loves to sit upright in our arms and look around. Those participating in the blessing were Eric, Rick, Dustin, Donald Atwater, Dean Davis, Bishop Terry, and Greg Glenn. Ernesto Revetto, a very good friend, held the microphone for Mark.
We were very fortunate to have so much of our family visiting us. The Browns and Olsons came down just for the day. After the blessing we rushed to our community center to have a bite before everyone went home. However, we couldn't find the codes for the center doors. So instead we ate at Terrace Park, which lies right at our
front door. It was a cold day and the park was extremely soggy from yesterdays rains...so it was interesting 
trying to enjoy a brief lunch. We ended up eating the cake in our house until it was time to take Rick and Megan to the airport.
A big thank you to all those who have prayed for us...we need those prayers! We appreciate everyone's gifts. Liam has grown out of his 3 month old clothes and is well on his way to his missionary suit.
