We Blessed our Baby while we were at Family Reunion since my family was all there (minus Joshua who had to fly home early to start grad school) and it was just as easy for Matthew's parents to fly into DC as it would have been to fly into Phillie. Maybe two and a half months is a little old to bless a baby, but he still fit into his blessing outfit and still cried loudly as the ordinance was being performed so nothing new there. But it was special to bless him with just his family sitting around loving him. We did it right after church in my parent's ward building. And since Parker (the oldest grandchild) had been ordained to the office of an Elder just before, he was able to join in the Priesthood circle and be part of it.
The star of the show, looking so awkward in his bonnet. Matthew still has no idea why I made him wear that bonnet, but I think he looks precious.
The happy family
The happy grandparents (my side)
And Matt's side
The men asked to be in the circle to bless our Wee Babe. Notice, how happy Zachary is to be there.
