This past Sunday Vincent was baptized at St. Stephen Martyr Catholic Church. I was so excited when I found out that they just happened to have a baptism scheduled for the weekend Keri was in town. Keri is the godmother of Zachary and Isabella also. However, the joy turned to disappointment when I learned that Jed (the kids godfather) was going to be out of town! Luckily his Dad, Eddie, was able to stand in for Jed and it all worked out. All the grandparents were able to come, except for PaPa who was at his own church that Sunday morning. Keri, Toots and Eddie (Jed parents), and Adam and Sarah were also there to celebrate with us. It was very special for us as parents because we have seen the impact that SSM has had on Zachary and Isabella. They love their church and school community. Everyone there truly seems to care for our family. It is a wonderful place to be.
Vincent was very good for his baptism. He got quite a bit of water up his nose and I think he stopped breathing for about 30 seconds. He had been peacefully asleep until the moment father poured water on his head and then rubbed in all in his face...I'm pretty sure he was in shock and had no idea what was going on. He looked totally stunned. However, he didn't cry until the end of the ceremony. Even though it has been two days he still smells like chrism.
Afterwards, we grilled steaks at our house and then had a relaxing evening. We are so blessed to have a wonderful family. Aunt Keri and Uncle Jed are the best godparents one could ask for! We are so grateful for all the love they have shown our kids!
