Happy Baptism, Brooklyn

Thank you, Kristine, for the cell phone pic to tide me over! Brooklyn becomes a member of the Catholic church today and is blessed to have her godfather Charles (from New York) and her godmother Jennifer (from Washington state) present for this once in a lifetime occasion.

Brooklyn's baptismal gown and slip are heirlooms and hand embroidered from the Philippines. There were two sets at the beginning because my parents began parenthood with twin girls. Unfortunately, one of the sets is missing.

All seven of my parents' babies were baptized in these gowns, as were Sean and Kristine (our two children), along with John Jeffrey in 2008 (grandson) and now six month old Brooklyn, our precious granddaughter. Happy Baptism, Brooklyn!
