Joseph's Baptism

On Sunday, February 1st we Baptised Joseph Allen at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Weimar! I know some of you are asking why so here is a short explanation: I was born in Germany and baptized there, so we couldn't really go back and have the ceremony there so we opted to have Joseph baptized in the same church as Mark. It was wonderful! I was amazed at how well he did during mass; he only cried a little twice and then calmed down. When we were singing Joseph decided to spit out his paci and join us, it was so cute! After communion we took him out to the car to change him into my baptismal gown and boy did he look HANDSOME! My mother-in-law lent us the same blanket and booties that Mark used when he was baptized. Through out the whole ceremony Joseph was an angel, he only fussed a little and was calmed down with his paci. When it came time to pour the water over his head he didn't even make a sound; I think was waiting for the rest of the water so he could take a bath. We are so blessed that our families were there to share this wonderful event with us! Please enjoy the pictures and let us know what you think of how Joseph has changed and grown.
