Fernandito's baptism

We were blessed to be able to baptize Fernandito yesterday while his Godfather was still in town. It was a simple, yet beautiful ceremony and we are thrilled to have the newest member of our family now a new member of the Church and a "child of the Light". I have pictures for you to recap the day:

Here are the boys before heading over to the church. Notice how they are both nicely dressed in their blue shirts:


And here are how they boys arrived. Notice the shirt change for Gerardito. He got sick in the car and threw up all over his clothes as well as the baby's baptismal gown. Fortunately, I had an extra set of clothes in the van.

Fernandito was born on the Feast of the Holy Family and so I thought it would be nice to get a picture with him in front of "The Holy Family":


And here's one last shot of the newly baptized..the little guy slept through the whole thing! He's my first to do that..Enriquito and Gerardito both screamed the entire time through their baptisms.
