Jacob's Baptism

God Bless Jacob Brayden~

Please note the baby in the above picture "talking" during his Baptism.

On November 23rd, Jacob Brayden was baptized. The ceremony was held at St.Anne's Church in Barrington where we were married...St.Anne's is an important place to me~I had my 1st Communion, Confirmation, and Grade School Graduation at St.Anne's...I wanted Jacob to start his journey in the Church where I did. The ceremony was nice (at St.Anne's the baptisms are shared with other families, Jake was baptized along with another little girl), personal, and Jacob was in a great mood for the most part~ he was cooing and gooing during the ceremony...it was so cute. Also, at our church, the babies are fully submerged vs. a little water poured over their heads, so that was a bit of a challenge b/c we had to change him in the middle of the ceremony (I was a little stressed out), but he was a trooper. Loren and Sammy are Jacob's God Parents. After the ceremony, we celebrated with an Open House at our home. Most of our relatives were introduced to Jacob for the first time on this special day, it was really wonderful.
