Here is Theo the morning of his baptism. We had a great weekend with family celebrating this joyous event. Aunt Laura and Uncle Jim were the godparents.

The boys did great during mass, but were super antsy during the baptism. They spent most of it in the vestibule of the church or upstairs in the balcony.

Theo received the light of Christ. All the mothers also were given a red rose, very sweet.
This is as close as we got to a group photo. Everyone was tired and hungry and ready to leave after being in church for over 2 hours. I'm sad that we did not get more group photos, but what can you do.

This cake was excellent!
After the baptism we enjoyed a meal of strip steak, salad, bread and shrimp. We had a couple of incidents involving wine glasses. One wine glass was shattered across a room and another glass of wine was spilled all over a rug. It was actually quite comical...
As a result Poppy ended up drinking out of a sippy cup.
The day of the baptism was rainy and cool, but the day before was hot! Here's Raphael wearing Theo's shorts.

Theo!
Thank you to everyone for making the trip up to Buffalo. We had a wonderful weekend and we're excited that Theo is now part of God's church.
