On June 17th, we baptized Owen at Holy Infant Catholic Church in Durham. Owen did amazingly well during the entire ceremony. Our baby is so easy going that I honestly did not expect anything less. The only thing was he took a really early nap that day and was pretty restless and exhausted by the time mass started. It also didn't help that I gave him a bottle and it made him REALLY sleepy. We made it through the actual ceremony and he passed out the second Communion started. So all the pictures we have of him that day at church are of him PASSED out!!
We are so lucky in that almost all of our immediate family was in town for this special event in Owen's life. Everyone made a long weekend out of it and we got to spend a lot of time together. My sister (the Godmother) and her husband, my parents, Tommy's parents, Carolyn, Victor and their daughter Annaliese and even my cousin, Linda and her family, who coincidentally was in town for a wedding! Unfortunately, Owen's Godfather (Danny) and Jenn were not able to make it that weekend, but we knew they were there in spirit. The weather was unbelievable and we spent a lot of the day outside. We had Mez (a really popular local Mexican restaurant) cater lunch and everyone really enjoyed it. Our good friends the Engstroms and Breaults also came to celebrate this big day with us.
It really was such a perfect weekend and we are so grateful to have such amazing family and friends!! Thank you to everyone for coming to such a special event in Owen's life! We love you all!!
