Fred is official!


Fred waves to all his fans, friends and family on his special day: October 11, 2009. He was given a name and a blessing by his father, Daniel Evensen, on this day, at LDS Church services in South Jordan, Utah.
At three months old, he's already wearing clothing big enough for a 9-month old child! He's also got some fierce hair-do going on. You go, Fred!
Here is Fred being fawned over by part of his fan club, step-Grandmother Merlene, and far-flung Arizona cousins Kendall and Taylor.
He was really quiet and happy during his big moment in church, his father proudly proclaimed. He smiled happily while he got his Norwegian/Swedish/American name and his Chinese name. He didn't start howling until later, when he was hungry. I totally understand, Fred. I often feel like that, too.
Later, there were more than 30 people who came by the house to celebrate. Sounds like a good time was had by all. And now little Fred is officially a child of record in the Lord's kingdom here on earth. It's a start, Fred. We'll all be there to help you through the rest of the stuff along the way. I just wish I could have been there.
