Ty was baptized on Sunday at St. Mark's Church...the same church where Eric and I were married 3 years ago. It was a beautiful day, and we're so glad that so many of you were able to come celebrate with us! Here is a recap of the day...
Ty's christening "gown" was made by Kerry's mom. She made it out of Kerry's wedding dress. It was absolutely beautiful!!!
Ty's family traveled to Londonderry to celebrate this occasion with him! The "fan club" took up the whole right row in the church!
We started the ceremony by presenting Ty to Deacon Lee, and stating our intent for him to receive the sacrament of baptism. Deacon Lee was so wonderful, and very patient with the less-than-happy babies!!!
As good as he looked, Ty was not thrilled to be there...not even a little bit! After bending backward to look around, talking instead of listening to the Deacon, and numerous attempts to distract him with jewelry and cell phones, Ty screamed his way through 2/3 of the ceremony. He triggered a chain reaction in all of the babies down the line. Thank goodness the Deacon flew through the ceremony!
The big moment!
Ty's godfather is Kerry's brother David, and Eric's older sister Andrea is his godmother. Their 12+ inch height difference made for an awkward candle lighting! :-)
The proud parents and godparents of the newest Catholic in town!
Within a minute of driving home, Ty passed out from all of the excitement. He napped...in his christening gown...for a good 90 minutes through his celebration!
It was a wonderful day, and we're so proud of our little guy!!!
