Baptism Day!



Cole was baptized today, with 6 other children in a very nice ceremony at St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church in Clifton Park, NY.  The priest was very relaxed and included all children present in the ceremony, allowing them to circle the baptismal font while he spoke.  He also had them hold the candles as he lit them from the church candle and then deliver them to the godparents to hold.  It was so neat to see it done this way - and how fitting, to have children help welcome new babies into the church!  
Cole did very well and looked very cute in his outfit!  He only cried at the end because he wanted to touch his candle while it was lit!  The baptismal water did not bother him at all!  Aunt Mup and Uncle Nate stood with him as his godparents.  Thank you so much for being such an important part of Cole's life!  He loves you both so very much!
