Jack's Baptism


















Okay-my mistake. I did this entry several weeks ago, but forgot to hit the "post" button, so it never posted. Well, better late than never!
On Sunday, November 16th, in the presence of family and friends, little Jack was baptized at the beautiful St. Mary's Church here in Annapolis. His cousin Amanda (my oldest niece, who happens to be nine months pregnant with baby #2!) and her husband Rich stood for him as Godparents. The weather was cold and windy, but we managed to have a nice day regardless. Jack looked so handsome in his Baptism outfit which was handmade by Grandma Sutton. She did a beautiful job! She has sewn outfits for each of the boys for their baptisms, so each has their own to hand down to their children. I hate to be biased, but Jack's outfit has been my favorite so far. His little jacket has his name embroidered on the inside along with his baptism date. It is precious. He also had a matching hat, but as you can see in the photo, he didn't care for that much. The ceremony was nice, and Rex and Sean were able to come up on the altar to watch. Afterwards, we had everyone back to the house for a small get-together. It was so nice to get to see everyone. We were even able to celebrate Michael's Aunt Dyanne's birthday- with one of Aunt Jean's famous coconut cakes! We look forward to seeing everyone again over the holidays.
