Ike's Blessing


We blessed Ike on Friday, January 22 in San Jose, Ca. We did it at Branden's grandpa's chapel so GrumpPa wouldn't have to travel. Also in attendance were B's parents, my parents and B's aunt LeAnn and cousin Christy. After the blessing we hosted a luncheon in the cultural hall and had a great time just chatting. Meanwhile, Nora had gotten into the bathroom and up on a stool so she could play in the sink in the mother's lounge. She completely soaked her shirt and then inadvertently locked herself inside. Branden found her topless and wailing at the top of her lungs. Poor crazy kid!




We really surprised both sets of parents when Branden blessed our baby as Ike Andrew instead of Ike Alexander Nelson. We decided we liked Andrew better about 2 weeks after he was born. Unfortunately, we have to pay our broke state $355 to make the name change legally. Why couldn't we have thought of Andrew before he was born?!


Ike's onesie is the same one Branden wore as a baby. I am very proud of myself for whipping up his little pair of pants in about two hours, with no pattern no less! They are certainly not the best well-made pants, but they did the job! And now we have our own family heirloom.
We should have gotten a picture with Ike and Nora, but here we are at any rate with our handsome little devil!
