Here he is. It's Axel. Penelope calls him Ackel.
His full name: Axel Brimley Schiess, and I quite like it. The name Axel is Scandinavian. It just so happens that Danish blood flows in our veins, coming from my mother's side of the family. Richard's friend, Axel, says the name means Peacemaker. Something more to like, and I do. Brimley is my maiden name, so I'm gratified by that as well.
Axel is a sweet boy, quiet and mellow so far. Well behaved, perfect, in fact, for his naming and blessing. Richard and Sarah invited friends, family, and ward members to come Saturday night. The blessing ordinarily takes place at church, but because I would be there Saturday and not Sunday, they performed it in their home.
I say thank you for such thoughtfulness, and thank you for a good visit.
I have more pictures, of course, but this one will do for now.
