Caleb's Blessing

Flashback to May.
Remember our "quick jaunt" to Utah? Well, this one-day turbo trip ended up being an important event in Baby Caleb's life, because he received his baby blessing, surrounded by friends and family. Since we were leaving a little too early to do it in church, Joseph's parents kindly rearranged their dining room/kitchen to accommodate close to thirty people on Saturday evening.
I am still amazed that things worked out for my entire family (except for my mother, who lives in New York) to be there. What are the chances that my brother and his family would be in town from Arizona the weekend we were there? I was excited that he was able to stand in the circle, along with my father, grandfather, several members of Joseph's family, and the bishop.
The San Antonio Coopers were able to be there, along with three of Joseph's other brothers. The only Coopers missing wereJoseph's sister and brother-in-law, who were at a wedding.

Caleb received a sweet, inspired blessing and we all had a good time eating delicious food (provided by my parents - thanks!) and talking after the blessing.
