Bless our Baby on His Baptism Day

Today Aidan received the sacrament of Baptism at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Cottleville. We were so lucky to have Grammy's T and P, Jim her friend and Elizabeth's parents Bill and Janet there to witness the big event.

Here is video of Aidan, Daddy, Mommy and Godmother Elizabeth taking part in such a special ceremony. I put it to music, since our audio didn't turn out too well.



It was a wonderful day. As you saw in the video, Aidan was so good during the actual Baptism. So funny how he yawned after getting the 3rd water. It was like he was saying, "Hey, isn't it early for my bath time???" He really was an angel today though. He slept in Daddy's arms all through the mass ceremony, through all the oils, and readings and such in the Baptism and finally woke up as we arrived at The Cheesecake Factory for our Baptism Lunch!! He looked so awesome in is "Jebus" outfit! Check him out.

Ty and Em,
What a wonderful week-end! From the delicious meal on Saturday evening to the "spirit-filled" Sunday, I had a ball! I am glad that I could make the journey back to see the "sweetest baby in the whole wide world"!!!


A special THANKS to Elizabeth and her parents! She will be a wonderful Godmother for Baby A!

Take care and have a great week!

Love you all so much!
