Mitchell's Baptism

Today our baby boy was baptized at St. Peter's Church in Columbus.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate our baby boy joining our Catholic faith.  We were able to celebrate with our families and I can honestly say that we couldn't have done it without them.  All the little things that they did for us helped so much.  My mom vacuumed the  downstairs while I fed Mitch and changed him into his baptism gown and my dad ran to the grocery store to pick up a few items we'd forgotten.  Shannon kept Evie in the Cry Room during Mass which allowed us to focus on Mitchell.  After Mass, when the baptism took place, Shannon took pictures for us during each moment so that I didn't have to worry about it.  Holly gave Mitchell a bottle so that I could entertain our guests and Rita cleaned up the kitchen so that we didn't have to do it all after the party.  All of the grandparents, aunts and uncle helped us out so much with kids during the baptism and afterwards at the party and we are so incredibly grateful!
Thank you all for joining us and making today so special!
Oh - and I can't forget to give kudos to Pat for an amazing dinner.  He made fantastic fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, mac & cheese and biscuits.  Delicious!!

Below is a picture of Mitchell in his baptism gown.  It is a very special gown.  His G.G. Mitchell, Pops (and great aunts on the Mitchell side), his Mama and big sister Evie all wore the same gown!
It was a tight fit because Mitchell is rocking some serious baby rolls, but we made it work.  And like I told my mom - he'll get feeling back into his arms eventually!
