Blessing the water
Simon was baptized at the Easter Vigil service this year. We were glad that so many family members could be there to share it with us! He had all four grandparents, four out of five aunts and uncles, and his two cousins there along with his godparents, brother, mommy and daddy! I once again got a bit teary-eyed as my son was baptized. It was a special event indeed.
