Jack's Baptism

Jack was baptized on November 10 in the same church I grew up in.  Which happens to be the same church John and I were married in and the same church George and Clara were baptized in.  It is a sacred place for me.  It is full of memories that full my heart with absolute joy.  I feel so peaceful within these walls and I am beyond elated that Jack started his relationship with Christianity and God here.  This day will forever be etched in my heart. 

Father Bill said Jack may win the prize for the easiest baptism of the year.  He seemed to enjoy the whole ceremony.  Father Bill even let him splash in the baptismal font after the service.  Jack was ready to take a swim in it!

 

Mark and Brandi are Jack's Godparents.  John and I have been blessed by their amazing friendship for years.  Jack is incredibly lucky to have them step into such an important role in his life.  They have always been there for John and I, in all of our great days and some of our not so great days.  They are true friends who we honestly consider family.  We know that they will be there for Jack as he navigates this crazy world and we love them for that.  

 

We celebrated with our very best friends and our amazing family after the church service.  I enjoyed each moment of the day and am thankful for every single one of these people.  

 

Jack you continue to brighten our days by bringing smiles to our faces with your infectiously happy personality.  Life has never ever been sweeter.  We love you sweet boy.
