Elijah Clark
We blessed Eli on Sunday. It is such a wonderful thing to see a circle of men you admire and love place their hands on your child's head to give them a name and a blessing. It is also such a wonderful sound to hear your husband use his Priesthood to give a blessing. Eli is a wonderful baby, very calm, and smiley. We love that he is a part of our family now. It is so fun that he still has his red hair. Now we have one with brown hair, one with blond, and one with red. So fun!

What a wonderful blessing it is to have a child, and to name him after such a man as Elijah is great.
Incidently, my gr-grandfather's brother was Eli Clayson. So the name is even in the family. He was a man of renoun, too.
So you gave him a blessing, but he will be the one giving most of the blessings to you guys for a long time. I wished I could hold him. He will be a wonderful addition to that group of nuts that are running around in Oklahoma already.
Along with degrading nuclear waste, what do you think he and his brothers will come up with?
Happy Grandpa Clark
I like his blessing outfit, too.

Having all the boys there was so cool. The only thing that could have made it better was if somehow your brothers/father/brother in laws could have been there.
