Matthew 19:14

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

On Saturday, September 23, 2006 N was baptized. This is the verse we chose for him. It is engraved on the back of his baptizmal charm.

The baptism was beautiful and our family and close friends were there to celebrate with us. N wore a Christening gown given to us by C's Mom and it was worn by all her children, including Daddy. My brother and his wife are N's Godparents.

At our church, the baptism is part of the mass. After the baptism, Father P took N to the front of the church and held him up for the whole congregation to welcom him as the parish's newest member. We have seen this before and most kids cry, but not our N. He looked around at all the people applauding and took it all in like some sort of rockstar.

Afterward we had everyone over to our house for a wonderful meal and small party. As the service was in the evening, the guest of honour was in bed while we celebrated his day for him.

The whole day and weekend was perfect. N was an angel during the service and we were able to get lots of pics and my whole family was there...we aren't often all in the same place twice.

Joyous Christening, Son.
