Today was perfect. Today four men I love held Clayton as Jason gave him a name and a blessing in church. It was the most beautiful blessing. Among the things mentioned in the blessing are all the gifts a mother could hope for her son - good health, a desire for both secular and spiritual learning, the desire to serve a mission and the blessing to find a good wife who will be a good mother to their children. Afterwards, we celebrated with yummy soup, salads, and treats at our house. It was perfect.
Clayton was named after two of the most wonderful men: Jason's grandpa John Clayton, and my daddy Douglas Scott. It is my hope and prayer that he looks up to and emulates these wonderful men whose names he is blessed to carry on.
