Baptism

Felicia was baptized at the church I grew up attending. I was baptized there, attended 8 years of Catholic school there, had my first communion, first reconciliation, went through confirmation classes (the actual confirmation was at the Basilica instead of the normal church), and The Bee and I had our wedding there, too! It was a small ceremony because it was after mass and only our families were there with us in the baptistry. Also, a few of our siblings couldn't make it due to the snow storm that was going on all weekend! It was still nice and I feel a sense of relief that it is over now :) We didn't get many good photos because the light wasn't very good in the baptistry (no windows!) and our camera was not behaving for our bro-in-law who graciously agreed to act as photographer. The Bee took a few photos as well, but neglected to get some full body shots to show the gown :( Oh well! We gathered at my Mom's house for cake, refreshments, and visiting following the ceremony.

  2. Congratulations! She is beautiful! We are waiting to get Matthew baptized until June when we can make it up to Ohio and can do it in the church we both grew up in. We may have some issues with the baptismal gown being too small, but we're going to make it work somehow! = )

  5. Congratulations! That's really cool that she got to wear the family heirloom gown. We are probably waiting till summer to have Nathan baptized so that my parents will be able to be here too.
