Sunday we had Jimmy's baptism. It was performed during the 10:00 mass with Father Roger, and he did a lovely job. It was very different from Anna's baptism, but in a good way! First, he had us come up to the front of the church and announce his name. Then after the homily we came up onto the alter, where he did the baptism so that the entire church could see. Then he held Jimmy up and announced him to the church, which I thought was kind of neat. So it felt like a very special service, which is exactly what Jimmy deserves! He was well-behaved during the first part of mass, then fell asleep right before getting holy water poured on his head. That woke him up! He started to cry for that part, but then Auntie Carrie was able to get him back to sleep.
Afterward we rushed over to Proksa Park (aka the Buzzy Bebow) and had to set up the reception while everyone was waiting there, which was a little stressful. We had lots of people helping out, so it was done rather quickly. We had lots of tasty food, so everyone seemed happy enough. Jimmy was even happy at the reception! The weather, miraculously enough, cooperated for us too. After a month of cold temperatures and record-breaking rains, we had a sunny, 55-degree day. It was amazing! I'm glad Jimmy was able to have a nice special day, just for him!
