Baptized

Today we awoke knowing that we had a very exciting day ahead of us. Parker was to be baptized. Normally, that would mean going to the church where several other families were having there children baptized as well. But under the circumstances we worked it out with my Parish to have Parker baptized in my parent's home.

We had planned do have our immediate family, our best friends, my grandparents and Parker's God parents in attendance today, but unfortunately it being flu season several of them had taken ill and for that reason were unable to attend. That said, it was still a wonderful day and the event was video taped so that everyone may witness our son being baptized, whether they were able to attend today's service or not. If you check out the recent videos in the next day or so you she be able to download Parker's baptism.

My mother put together a wonderful spread and I made a cake for the occasion. Not only did we all enjoy watching Parker partake in this wonderful ritual, we were all very full by the end of it as well. Thanks Mom and Dad and everyone who was able to attend for a very memorable day. It was so nice to spend some time with those we love as well as having everyone enjoy our little guy as much as we do! A special thank-you to my Nonna for the beautiful cross and bracelet that she gave Parker. It is very special as it was actually blessed in Italy. Lastly, thank-you so much to Kyle and Josephine for being Parker's Godparents. The bracelet you bought for him is beautiful and will be close to him always.
