Jacob's Blessing
I assume most of you know that I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If you didn't before you do now. Anyway, in our church it's custom to give a baby a name and a blessing in front of the congregation. Sunday we blessed Jacob. We had a lot of family and some friends attend the blessing and a luncheon/get together afterwards. It was a lot of fun and we are thankful to those that made the long trip. I was a little stressed out prior to the weekend. I don't come to party hosting naturally. I was surprised that things went smoothly and I actually had a good time. The children had fun playing with their cousins and it was nice to visit with family members, some of which I hadn't seen in a while. It's been a while since I've posted Jacob photographs enjoy these taken on Sunday after the blessing:

donna and i went to a blessing for a friend's baby once. we found the ritual interesting but no more so than some of the goofy things i do as a catholic.
i knew you were mormon... i won't hold it against you.

Not only is that an incredibly darling baby, but the mother is beautiful, too.
