Baptism

On Sunday, June 15th, Ben got to celebrate his first Father's day while celebrating Alex and Olivia's baptism. They were baptized at St. Mary's Church in Simsbury. Our families came in to town to celebrate with us which was really nice. My parents, Ben's parents, and my brother were all in town for the event.

Olivia wore the same gown that I wore when I was baptized. Alex wore the oufit that my brother wore when he was baptized.

My brother, Dave, is the godfather, and our friend Jen Zink is the godmother of the kids. Unfortunately, Jen was unable to travel to be with us for the ceremony, so my friend Keri graciously acted as a stand-in godmother. There were a total of four babies being baptized. Alex was the only boy - - so he was hanging out with all the ladies! Alex and Olivia were very well behaved during the entire ceremony and did not even cry when water was poured on their heads. Here are some pictures from the day.
