Colin's Baptism

Since my parents were here & 2 out of Colin's 3 godparents were in town, we finally scheduled his baptism for today! All three boys were pretty darn good in church, I must say. Colin got a little fussy just after Mass (otherwise known as he wiggled a lot!) because it was past his naptime, so when I took him so we could start the baptism and Father Nick started to speak, he promptly fell asleep! He slept through the entire thing, only stirring a little when they poured the cold water on his head. What an angel-baby!

Overall, it was a very nice day. Everyone came back to our house after the baptism for hamburgers and hot dogs as well as some yummy cake. Lots of corn-hole was played, lots of kids ran around like wild men, and the weather held--what more could you ask for?
