Logan's Baptism Day


I am a week late but Logan's Baptism was February 12.  It was such a special event in his life and I can't believe the incredible pride and joy that we felt that day.  It was amazing.  Logan did so good too!  No crying even as he was placed in the water.  Our church stressed the symbol of the white garment as something to be put on after the Baptism.  So you will see Logan in his outfit a little further down.    


Proud Parents:

There were 12 other babies being baptized that day.  It is a big parish and the last one before lent, but they kept it very organized so it wasn't drawn out.  Here we are in front of the church with Logan's Godparents Aunt Janis and Uncle Scott.

We absolutely love our Parish Pastor, Fr. Joe.  He is wonderful with children, in fact he has several books and videos published with his puppet Big Al that help to bring children closer to Jesus and His message. (welovebigal.com)   He really brings the message of the Gospel to others in a way that each person who hears it can relate it to their own life.  He is also very personable and has a great sense of humor.  He was the reason we chose this parish when we moved here and we are so glad we found it.  You can see just how passionate he is in these pictures.  



If you are wondering what we are doing in the above picture we were listening to something Fr. Joe was telling us.  He said "Logan, you are so special to your parents.  One day when it is nice outside they should take you outside and hold you up to look at the sky and see the only thing greater than you..."  He is right.  God is the only thing greater to us than Logan and with God we have everything we need. 

Here is our sweet Logan in his Christening outfit:
