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!
Joey is quite the little chatterbox and each day he surprises us with new words and the ability to string more and more words together into complete sentences. The other night as Joey and I were preparing for a mommy & son date night at Souper Salad with our friends Rachel and Griffin, Joey said to me, "Mommy is a princess and Joey is a good boy." I just about melted into a puddle right there on our kitchen floor.
