The Christening of John Michael Hernandez

Our sweet boy was welcomed into our Catholic faith today. We had a wonderful day celebrating with all our family that was able to join us. Michael and Brittany served as Godfather and Godmother--how blessed he is to have them to count on through life...

He wore the same Christening gown Lola did--the one we had made from my wedding dress. It was so special to dress him in it this morning. Our children were both baptized on the same altar we were married--by the same special man that married us, Deacon John Ficker. Sitting in the pew this afternoon, realizing that--it just put a huge smile on my face :)

Everyone came over to the house afterwards for lunch. I continue to be amazed at how we can comfortably entertain a HUGE family in a condo! The bunch enjoyed lunch from Rubino's, Bragie's potato salad lovingly made by Auntie Karen & Uncle Dave and cake from Creative Cakes--I had them add a Celtic cross and Irish Creme filling. See the theme?

Thank you again to everyone who joined us--both physically and in spirit! We love you all and are so greatful to have you in our son's life!
