Isaac's Blessing


We decided that since we would be in Utah for the holidays we would take the opportunity to bless Isaac so we could have the priesthood holders in our families involved. The blessing was at my parents house and between the two families, it was a packed house. Jeff gave a really lovely blessing to Isaac. We are so grateful for our baby boy. It is truly a priviledge to have been given stewardship over Isaac during his earthly life. I love Isaac so much. And I very grateful that Jeff holds the priesthood and is able to give such important blessings to our children.


The outpowering of love we felt from family this day was overwhelming. We had just about every member on both sides of the family present. Plus Amber and Johnny, our dear friends, made it.


Included in the circle were: Jeff, Dave Black, Larry Sollis (Isaac's grandpas), Nate Black, Josh Black, Dan Black, Matt Cox, Brian Hepworth, Karl Lundeberg, Chris Sollis, Matt Sollis (Isaac's uncles), Johnny Hatch (family friend), Brandon Muir, Brett Muir, Greg Muir, (Isaac's second-uncles), and Randy Muir (Isaac's great-uncle). It was a tight circle! Also present was my oldest brother, Matt. Presiding was Ryan Dial, bishopric member of my parents ward (Murray North 6th Ward).


After the blessing we had a wonderful luncheon and visited with everyone. It was so pleasant.

It was a bit bright outside-hence the squinting.
