Julia was baptized at St. Catherine of Sienna on Father's Day, June 21st. It was quite an event! She wore a beautiful Ulster linen family christening gown with gorgeous Celtic embroidery. None of these pictures do the gown justice, so a photo shoot is due soon to showcase the dress!
This will be once the dress is cleaned, however, since Julia made her mark (so to speak) on it in the middle of Father Martin's homily. Advised that we should be ready to continue with the baptismal sacrament as soon as the homily was over, we didn't dare leave the church to try and change her quickly. So, Bill tried his best to ignore the warm, wet, and stinky sensation occurring on his arm through his suit sleeve!
After the ceremony, we saw the full extent of Julia's damage, and we are grateful it doesn't show in any of the pictures!
We had a party at home following the baptism, and Jen Nitkowski made the fabulous cakes.
All in all, it was a GREAT day, and a special first Father's Day for Bill. A foreshadowing of things to come for him, perhaps....?
