Fender's Baptism

Difficult to keep the updates coming lately with all the fun going on. Last weekend we had the MLS Cup and this weekend we had Fender's Baptism. Now we have Thanksgiving coming up this weekend. Fun Fun Fun.
Mom, Dad and Fen

The baptism couldn't have gone any better. Fen was quiet the whole time. His eyes popped open when the water was poured onto his head three times, but not a cry to be heard, not even with the "musical people" (getting passed from one person to another). His Godmother, Manassa processed him into the church. His Godfather, Garrett, held him while Fr. Bob gave him his blessings at the front of the church and he carried him to the back of the church. His Daddy held him by the baptismal fount and gave him to Fr. Bob for the christening, then his Godmother, Loren, processed with him back to the front of the church, where I held him as Fr. Bob announced the new member of God's church to the congregation. It was all so beautiful, especially because it was shared by so many! Fender had TWO greatgrandmothers present, three grandmothers, great aunts, cousins, and friends present to witness his birth into the church and the beginning of his spiritual journey through life.

By the way...Fen was 6 weeks old last Wednesday, at which time he was 24 inches long and at my appointment today, he weighed 11 lbs even. Yea. He has his two month check up in a couple of weeks.
