Matthew's Baptism

Matthew was officially baptized in the NICU when he was only 4 days old. Father Tom arrived the day that I was checking out of the hospital, and he performed the baptismal rite in Matty's room. He used a little shell to pour the holy water over our little guy's head. Even though it was a very traumatic time, we were inspired by the baptism of our little angel. We had the continuation of his baptism on Saturday night at our church. Father Tom was out of town, so Father Gary stepped in. Jeremy, Matty, Ashlei (his godmother), Jarron (his godfather), and I brought the gifts up, and then the baptism ceremony followed mass. It was a lovely evening and we are so grateful that so many family members were able to attend. We had a fun dinner at our house after mass. Thanks to everyone for participating in such a special day for Matty!
