Baptism Anniversary

Today is a very important day in the Counts family, the first anniversary of Curtis's Sacrament of Baptism! The only day that Curtis has ever slept through an entire mass! He even slept through the pouring of water on his head! It was an extremely special day for us, our priest even allowed us to have his baptism in the middle of the Life Teen mass (and not in the usual community baptism style) he was a hit with all the teens! I love remembering how Deacon Don lifted him above his head and proclaimed him for Christ. What a sight considering Don is at least six foot tall! It is hard to believe that a year ago today our little man looked like this...

And now he is walking and talking and eating hot dogs! The time really does fly. Tonight we are going to have a big dinner with Barrett, Jessica, and Clare (whose baptism anniversary was yesterday) to eat some cake, burn the baptismal candles, and celebrate the beautiful entrance of our babies into the Christian community. We pray today that we can continue to uphold the promises we made to Curtis on that day and that he will grow to do the same!
