William's Blessing

Sunday October 4th
We celebrated William's Baptism today with family and close friends. Grammy helped wrangle this busy-body into the gown. Its a family heirloom - over 50 years old and even worn by William's godmother.

My cutie!

Shockingly, William wailed through the entire event. Honestly, I could not hear a word uttered throughout, since I was trying everything in my powers to appease him - of course, the slippery, foofy gown did not make this an easy feat. He was just so so so overtired.

Just before the blessing, Godmother Aunt Elaine tried her magic. Poor Dr. Wooten looks like he didn't know what to think of the matter.

It's so funny to look back on these pictures just a couple weeks later. William is such a happy boy (especially considering what a certain someone else put us through at this age). This is very unlike Will's temperament.

A sad attempt at a family picture...

William's godparents are his great Aunt Elaine and Uncle John. They gave him a beautiful Baptismal shell that was used to hold the holy water.

Nicholas lightened the scene with showing off his poses and moves on the alter.


We feel truly blessed to have so many special people join us at the church.

When all was said and done, William finally gave in to some shut-eye. It was the first time he's ever stayed asleep through being fastened in his car seat.

The gang all joined us for lunch back at the house. Dominic and Nicholas were happy as can be with the chips at their level. They were so cute pushing the bowl back and forth to each other.

It's not a party without a cake!

I'm still shocked Nicholas was okay with us not doing the whole candle scene. He was talking about singing Happy Birthday with candles ever since I started telling him of the upcoming party.

When the house was empty at 7pm, it was hard to tell who was more tired, Poppie or William.
