Today was Lucy's Baptism at Corpus Christi Catholic Church. She received the sacrament from Fr. Jim Blessinger. This was an extra special day for us, because the day of her original baptism was February 17 -- the day she was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia/RSV. The weather was beautiful! Our family from Indy as well as our family in town were all present to celebrate this occasion. Lucy wore Mommy's baptismal gown and she was angelic all thru mass and the baptism following -- but she didn't like being blessed with the oil or holy water! Her godparents are Uncle Mike and Aunt Molly. The bottom picture captures Patrick's behavior very well -- he only made it through about half the mass and rolled around on the altar during the sacrament. Looking back, the only time Patrick didn't cry at his own baptism was when he was blessed with the holy water -- figures that his sister would be exactly the opposite! Everyone returned to our house where Lucy received some beautiful gifts (including her stitchery and quilt from Grandma Bretz) and we had a nice meal.
