Blythe's adoption added her to our family. It also resulted in our adoption to her birth grandparents' family. Grandma Dawn and Papa Scott wanted to continue to have Blythe as a part of their lives and be a part of hers, and Kent and I felt that was important too. As Blythe's family, Scott and Dawn welcomed us into their family as sort of unofficial children, I guess. They consider Brandt as much their grandson as Blythe is their granddaughter, and so we are now honorary Nortons. Brandt and Blythe are lucky enough to have three sets of grandparents and we have additional family support. It works out beautifully.
As members of the Norton family, we were invited to an extended family function last week, a quasi family reunion. We were introduced as Kent and Katherine Barrus, Blythe's parents. I suppose that is enough. We met at the Lindon park riding arena. Scott's brothers have horses and so everyone was riding. Well, many were riding. None of us rode except Blythe who is developing a true sense of daring which worries us a bit.
