Issac's Blessing

The first Fast Sunday of the year was also the day on which my nephew Isaac Jeffrey was given his LDS baby blessing by his father, Jeff. Yours truly, along with Ike's other uncles and a couple of grandparents, stood in the circle for the priesthood ordinance.

Afterward, we congregated at Jeff's brother's house for a family brunch. I provided a box of Mike & Ike candy I found at the store last week for this very photo op:

Unfortunately, Ike began to cry just as I was about to snap the photo.

It's always great to be surrounded by family, including part of Scott's and Claudia's gang. My cousin Jared's son Jordan was also in town from California and joined us for this occasion.
