This is our second great-grandson, Bryson McDougal Kurtin. He is two months younger that John Carl. He is a beautiful baby with big brown-turning eyes...his daddy is half Native American, which works really well with our northern European-looking family. His mommy and daddy chose the name Bryson, not from the Texas town of that name, but from a baby book of names. His middle name, McDougal, is his paternal grandmother's maiden name.
Bryson and John met for the first time here at our home on Thanksgiving 2018. This photo was taken then in our back yard, and his momma used it on their Christmas card.
I don't think John and Bryson thought much of each other at Thanksgiving, of course, but we pray they will grow to know each other and to become close family, even though they are second cousins, as their grandmothers are sisters and our daughters.
This is Bryson with his Uncle Tim who was home from university where he will complete his MBA at St. John's in Queens, New York, in May. I think Bryson is totally proud of his uncle!
Both our great-grandsons live about half a day away in different directions, so we don't see them often, although John's parents come to Mineral Wells more because this is his father's hometown. However, both grandmothers get to visit their grandsons a lot, and that is just amazing!
We are blessed to have both little boys and are extremely happy that Bryson will be baptized in March!
