Elliot Gets Baptized

Elliot was baptized on August 24th at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church after the noon mass. My parents are his Godparents. Here he is dressed and ready to head to the church. This is the same baptismal outfit Carter wore four years ago. The baptism of my kids is one of my most special days as a parent. On this day, Elliot received and began his spiritual life, being born again of water and the holy spirit. Congratulations Elliot. We love you to pieces and are so blessed to have you.

Father invited Madeleine, Crawford and Carter to participate and help him. They were so excited and did such a great job.
