On the 30th of December we had Will baptized. We are very fortunate to be able to have Rod and Laura (Mark's sister and brother-in-law) as William's Godparents. We were also very grateful that St. James graciously agreed to baptize Will in the Christmas season in order to accomodate Rod and Laura. We weren't able to have our normal priest, but the substituting priest was wonderful. Will was quite well behaved, he only whimpered when the priest dumped water on his head. She showed him off to the congregation, and then gave him to Uncle Rod where he happily spent the rest of the service. Jack was pretty well behaved too, although sitting in a pew and listening was not what he had in mind. After the ceremony we had the reception back at our house (the joys of having more room to entertain) which went off quite well too! A special thanks to Laura and my mom for helping with the food!

Will and his Godparents
Mark's Uncle Bill and William...this is who we named Will after, he's also Mark's Godfather
What a handsome guy!
God Bless him!
I stole this pic from Laura, but thought I'd show what happens when you eat too much of the Blessing Cake...
