On August 6, Blake was baptized at our Catholic Church. It was so great because we finally had the Lafflam family together once again. It had been since February 2010 and it was much needed. We also were in desperate need of a new family photo (that will be another post) because we have a new family member, Blake, and also because in February 2010 I was very pregnant and looked like a cow in the last family photo. Uncle Matt and Aunt Ally were the godparents for the big day and they did a fantastic job. We also had Andy's cousin, Lisa, come up for the big day. We truly felt blessed!
Before the baptism we snapped some family pics.
The Godparents!
So during the baptism, we had to stand the whole time. This isn't really a big deal, but just hard when you have to hold a 26 pound baby who wiggles in your arms the whole 45 minutes. We tried distracting him with all kinds of things. Binkies, camera lens caps...
Bepa taking the pictures...
...and don't forget the cell phone distraction. Blake was texting to God throughout the baptism as well..."OMG, this is so fun."
Whoa, where did this water come from? I was doing just fine up until that point!
Maybe a candle can take his attention away from the cell phone. Maybe not.
Deacon Don did a great job with the baptism.
Our little family with our holy kiddos! Holy moly, that was a lot of work!
