The Pearson Family: Teagan's Blessing

We were so excited to have our baby boy blessed. We were especially anxious for Curt to get to meet Teagan for the first time. It is always so fun when Darryl's family gets to come to visit. I was a little sad about Steph and Joe being in London for his blessing. They really wanted to be there, but their internship in London was a great opportunity for them. They ended up moving the week before Teagan was born so they still haven't even met him. Steph called me the morning Teagan was blessed and told me that the day we chose for the blessing was Mother's Day in England! She said that she thought about me a lot and that even though it was a British holiday, I should be celebrating anyway. Well, we certainly celebrated.

Teagan meeting Grandpa Curt for the first time.

It was so fun to sit in Sacrament Meeting with my friends and family. Darryl got up and gave the most beautiful blessing. I nearly cried. After Darryl finished the blessing and held Teagan up for the congregation to see our darling son, Lynn was overcome with love for our little guy and didn't care that it was up in front of everyone. He kissed him right on the head. It was such a tender moment. Lynn has a few great nieces and nephews, but none that he has felt such an attachment toward until Teagan. Teagan just melts Lynn's heart and it shows in the sweet and loving way he interacts with Teagan.

I bore my testimony in Sacrament meeting for my family to hear. It was a special opportunity for me to share my testimony with them after such a wonderful event in our family. I felt so overcome with the spirit. I truly am blessed to have such a wonderful husband who upholds his priesthood, and is worthy of it. He has such a tender and loving countenance. He is so gentle and caring. I feel so blessed to have a husband who is so in tune with the spirit. He is the love of my life and I really am so grateful for him. I am so blessed to be a mother. I thank my Father in Heaven for that special gift. I feel so honored to be entrusted with a precious child of God in my care. I am thankful for the Lord's guidance that I may bring this child up in the gospel and be the kind of mother the Lord would want me to be. Holding my beautiful son in my arms is such an incredible feeling. He is my sweet little angel, my sunshine. I am thankful for my Savior, Jesus Christ who atoned for my sins. I know that he lives and loves me. I know that he willingly gave his life because of the love he has for me. I am thankful for a loving Father in Heaven who listens and answers my prayers. I am thankful for the blessings he gives me. My heart is full. I am grateful to have been raised by such wonderful parents. I love my family dearly and feel so blessed to be a part of it. I couldn't imagine life without them. I have such a love and admiration for Darryl's family. I thank his parents for the role they had in raising such a wonderful man. I truly am thankful to live in the Latter Days. I am thankful to have the fullness of the gospel here on the earth and to have been born into the covenant. I am grateful my son had the same opportunity.

Darryl also bore a heartfelt testimony. After Sacrament meeting, we went back to my parents house to have lunch and socialize with the family. I bought Darryl some chocolate cigars from See's Candies so he could pass out the cigars to all the guys. It was really fun and we got a great picture. We had a wonderful time visiting with everyone. Teagan got passed around and adored all day long. He really is adorable, so I am not surprised. It really was a wonderful day.
