{Jack's Baptism}

On Sunday we baptized Jack David. We had Father Ward officiate the ceremony and he did a wonderful job. We were joined by our family and close friends. Jack's Godmother is David's sister Kate and our close friend John Martin is his Godfather. Thank you both for agreeing to be a spiritual support for Jack throughout his life. This means a lot to us.

There were 3 babies being baptized on Sunday, 2 girls and Jack. When Father was pouring the holy water over the girls heads, both of them cried. David was holding Jack and told him he needed to be a man and not cry. He didn't cry at all. Many people didn't know that David and I had been practicing baptizing Jack in the bath tub for about 4 weeks. He loves his bath so we thought he would do great, which he did. Way to go baby Jack!!! We are so proud of you.

After the baptism we invited everyone back to our house for a party. The weather has been so nice here this summer, but Sunday turned out to be one of the hottest day this year, so we had to be indoors, which was fine. Jack did great being passed around all day long. Everyone wanted to hold him and he was perfect. We want to thank all of our friends and family for sharing in Jack's special day, you all helped make the day even more special. We are so blessed to have such loving family and friends.

This Baptismal gown has been worn by everyone in Sullivan Family (David's mom side) dating back to his grandmother (100+ years old). We felt very blessed that Jack could wear this gown even though it did look kind of like a dress. Thank you Mary for keeping this a treasury for so many years!

All the pictures were taken by our friend Rachael Marie Schirano. She did a fabulous job. She is starting her own photographery business if you are interested. http://www.schiranotriplets.blogspot.com
