Matthew's Baptism

My darling boy Matthew was baptized on Sunday, May 27. It was a beautiful day made very special by the presence of our families.

Matthew was fussy during the beginning of the baptism but carried on the tradition of all my kiddos and didn't cry when he was annointed with the holy water.

Liam wanted to run, run, run. I clutched tightly to him and I think Father Niekamp also held on to his shirt.

 Cousins - Maggie and Alex.

Loving on Uncle Doug. It's taken Maggie a long time to allow Doug to hold her and not cry. She's been through a lot and is one of the bravest souls I know.
