Stephen getting Seamus dressed for his big day! The Baptismal outfit Seamus is wearing was his Daddy's.
Happy baby!
All ready!

Seamus was baptized October 17, 2010, here in Ave by Fr. Bob. It was a small ceremony done after Mass on Sunday. Both sets of grandparents were here, as well as Seamus' Godparents, Kevin and Jen. The Baptism was very nice and Fr. Bob (who has become a staple for our family's religious events, haha!) as usual, did a great job! Ava was quite well behaved the entire time. We had been talking to her for a few days beforehand, telling her that Seamus would be baptized, that she had also been baptized, that Jesus had been baptized, etc. We told her that Fr. Bob would pour holy water on Seamus' head, etc. These conversations culminated in Ava's exclamation halfway through the ceremony: "Seamus! Baptized!!" which was quickly followed-up by, "Mommy, I want sompin to eaaat." Oh, my dear Ava.
We had a small get together afterwards at our house, with plenty of family and friends! Thanks to everyone who was able to make it, and for those who weren't, please know you were missed!
Check back soon!
