A Name and a Blessing

Our sweet boy James was blessed this past Sunday by his father, grandfather and good friends.  It was a beautiful blessing and we can't wait to see what kind of personality our little James will shape up to be!  Among other things, he was blessed with a kind heart, to serve a mission, to marry in the temple, to look for opportunities to serve, a willingness to always share the Gospel, and know that his family will always love and support him in whatever he pursues.

Besides Zack and Grandpa Evan, the other men in the circle were: Colin Rogerson, Lyle Christiansen, Dominic Ratto, Daniel Lindsay and Tanner Fullmer.  They are all our good friends and fellow med students with Zack in our ward. We were glad they were able to take part in James' special day. 

We had such a wonderful time with Zack's parents here for the weekend!  I wish I had taken more photos of them playing with Elise and holding James but we did get several taken from the blessing.  Getting a good family photo was nearly impossible, but after about 30 takes we have one or two that worked.  Here are some pictures from his special day!
