Owen's Baptism

After a delicious breakfast to celebrate Father's Day with daddy, we spent the rest of the day celebrating Owen's baptism. Owen was baptized at St. Vincent de Paul and we were so blessed to have family and friends with us to witness the special occasion. The baptism itself was very short and sweet but Owen made it known to everyone that he was not happy about it interfering with his naptime. I can't say I blame him - you wouldn't be very happy about getting your head drenched in chilly water either, even if it is holy water!

Mima putting Owen in the family baptismal gown (Daddy and Joey wore it too!).

Owen and mommy sharing a quiet moment before the baptism.

Owen being doused in holy water - as in, HOLY cow this WATER is cold!

Deacon David practically shampooing Owen's hair with the oils.

(from l-r) Aunt Janet, Oma, Daddy, Owen, Joey and Mima - everyone in this picture wore the same gown for their respective baptisms. Isn't that neat?

Our family with Owen's godparents, Craig and Jennifer. Look at Owen eyeing the Deacon as if to say, "What did you just do to me?"

Owen's baptism cake - it was not so beautifully decorated, but you'll have to trust me when I tell you that it was delicious!
