Alex's Baptism Day

Last Sunday, 12/28/08 Alexander Jay Eric was baptized. It was a wonderful, proud day for us as his parents. When we met with Father Tank a few weeks beforehand, he said something that really resignated with me. He said that we get to be present for this birth. It's such a nice way to look at it. So I guess that's why I got a little choked up during the ceremony. I kept thinking about how we were bringing him into this new life with Jesus. We weren't there for his actual birth but we were there for this one.


He was such a good boy (shocker, I know!) and didn't cry or fidget at all. He almost didn't fit into his baptism outfit (it was the one his cousin Aidan wore), but nobody noticed the top button undone in the back.


We were blessed with a lot of family of friends who came to celebrate with us.








His God-Parents (close friends of ours) seemed so proud and we are so happy they agreed to play this special role in Alex's life.

It was a good day!
