John Michael's Baptism

Right after the blessing with holy water . . .















So I'm just now getting around to writing about it, but we had John Michael's baptism done on October 4. It was up in Amarillo and was very nice. I know I didn't get a chance to let everyone know we were doing the baptism that weekend, but we ended up scheduling it pretty quickly. We were so happy that it worked out to have it up there. Mike's parents are John Michael's godparents and with Virginia's knee surgery coming up, we didn't know when it would be possible for them to come to Fort Worth. So we had the baptism at St. Hyacinth's. It was a private baptism on Saturday morning & then we were all able to go out to lunch afterward. John Michael was apparently worn out by all the festivities. He slept through lunch and then later that afternoon took a long (almost 3 hour!) nap & missed church that night. The girls were great at the baptism (and Msgr. was good to let them stand were they could see so well) and also at church that night. I was impressed that they could do so well after such a long day. Clara even said church was "quick, quick." And yes, it is quick, quick when you fall asleep in Mommy's lap as soon as the homily starts & sleep for a good 20 minutes!

So, our littlest one is now baptized. Mike wants to add that it's not clear in the video, but be sure and look for the point at which the halo appears!
