Miles's Baptism

Last Sunday, we celebrated Miles's Baptism, and then had a fabulous party at Grandma Joje and Pa's house. Here are some pictures from the ceremony. I still need to get the pictures from the party from Mom's camera. Miles's Godparents are my sister, Meredith, and Brandon's childhood friend, Anthony. However, since Anthony lives in London and has been quite the world traveler lately, he was not able to make the ceremony. Miles's Great Uncle Stephen (aka GUS) was kind enough to fill in as the Godfather role on Baptism day. The celebrant was Msgr. Mosley, and we were lucky to have lots of family come celebrate with us.

Miles was the star of the show right from the beginning!

Here I am getting Miles dressed in his Baptism outfit.

Brandon fed Miles a quick bottle before the ceremony began. I thought this was a cute mother-son-son picture!

This picture is so neat because you can actually see the water droplets coming off his head.

Bennett had a little trouble understanding what was going on and understanding that the Baptism wasn't all about her. Yes, here she is hiding under the Baptismal fount, right at Monsignor's feet!

Luckily Pa came to the rescue and gave Bennett some attention while we finished the ceremony.

Bennett was also put in charge blowing out the various candles after the ceremony was over.

Cousin Ann was also a big help in entertaining Bennett both at the ceremony and also at the party by playing outside with her. Thanks Ann!
