7.10.2010

It was the perfect day. We baptized Patrick Jr. just one day shy of his 4 month birthday at Mary Immaculate Catholic Church. With our very most favorite family and friends with us, we welcomed our baby into the Catholic faith. Thank to all of you who made it so memorable. It was the most incredible day and one which Patrick Sr. and I will hold in our hearts for many years to come.

(Drumroll, please...there are 9 million photos so beware!)

Believe it or not, we dressed Baby P in the back of my car, all the while the paparazzi took pictures and video!

Our family

Before the baptism began. Patrick was so entertained by his guests.

My sweet petunia

Posed in the gown given to him by his grandmothers. Patrick didn't quite fit in the gown which his Daddy's family has worn, so his grandmothers started the new tradition.

The ONE shot which you will see of baby boy in his bonnet. Daddy vetoed it.

Caught in the moment

Slightly undressed after Father blessed Patrick's chest with oil.

Being baptized...and loving every minute. Not even a peep out of the little guy!

A special blessing by Father in Godmother Liza's arms.

Godparents Ryan and Liza and "Baby P" as Auntie Liza calls him.

Oily forehead smile...

Look at his baby feet! Of course, Mimi and Mommy thought this one booty shot was worthy of a pic...naturally.

The best pic of the tabletop which was en route to being set. Can you see Mommy's notes in each platter?

Yummy deserts

Handmade, thank you very much, "PMac" and "PKM" monogrammed cookies. A labor of love...

At his party and in a favorite place: Daddy's arms.

Happy as a little clam.

Blissful sleep in Poppy's arms.
