DBN

Donald Barron Norton and Derek Benjamin Norton. You can see Derek Brion Norton's hand off to the side. I wish I would have gotten a pic with all 3...but I was busy tearing up almost the whole time. The only DBN missing is Derek's father, Donald Brion Norton.


On Tuesday we had a clear schedule. This almost never happens, and Derek's grandpa's health has been deteriorating. So, we bravely made the trip to Vancouver WA. It takes about 3 1/2 hours each way. Ben did so well. He only cried for about 10 minutes total the whole drive (both there and back.) I hope this is an indicator for our trip to Utah. Derek's grandpa is the first DBN, Ben is the 4th. It meant a lot to Grandpa Don to meet Ben. He gave Ben a father's blessing since he can't be there for his official blessing. It was very touching.
