Will's Baptism

As I mentioned in the last post, I am so glad the time fell back on Sunday morning - especially since it was Will's baptism that day! It was such a wonderful day! The weather was perfect, the ceremony was perfect and most importantly, Will was perfect.

We started off the day with 11:00 mass at St. Peter's Church. Immediately after mass, Fr. Jack gave the most beautiful Baptismal Ceremony I have ever attended. He started in the back of the church and explained everything to us, said some prayers, had everyone trace a cross on Will's head, and then we went into the church to finish the Baptism. As I mentioned, Will was just absolutely perfect through the entire ceremony. He didn't seem to mind the water and didn't even flintch when Fr. Jack doused him with the crism oil (and boy did he smell good after that!)













After the Baptism, we went over to Ann and James's house for a beautiful reception. Ann made a delicious chicken casserole and salad and crossont rolls. They served us off of their fine china and out of their Waterford Crystal. It was spectacular!

Today's Wonderfuls:
