Daniel's Christening

So today was Danny's christening and of course it couldn't be uneventful. My family arrived at my house and my mom and I were going to go to mass and then call everyone back at the house to come down to the church. (Trying to keep a 2 year old and a 5 month old content during a mass and then a baptism seemed a bit much).

So the church is about 2 blocks from my house so I decided we would walk. We were less than a block from my house when my mom lost her footing and fell. I felt so awful!! I wish I had been able to stop her fall. She hit really hard on her knee, shoulder and hip. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who stopped immediately for us, including a nurse, an off duty EMT and firefighter. They called an ambulance and took her to the hospital. A jogger was running by and saw me start to walk back to my house to get my brothers and she ran to the house for me. People are sweet. So one brother went to the hospital along with ny step father and I went on to church alone. My mom thankfully did not break anything and showed up at the christening just as the priest was saying the closing prayer.

There's a few pics below (before Danny puked all over the gown). This is the same gown that Jacob wore.

My brother Scott and my sister Angie are Danny's godparents.

Danny is eating his christening gown as Jacob watches.


The boys.....so well behaved in church.
