Jackson's Baptism

Hallelujah! We were finally able to get Jackson baptized! What a crazy month of schedule matching, planning, and then waiting. However, it culminated in a beautiful day with a smiley baby and a happy family. Thank you to my Aunt Mary who practically rearranged her schedule to be here to sponsor Jackson into the Orthodox faith. Congratulations to her, my sister Adrian, and Ryan Y, Jackson's wonderful godparents!

Here are some fun photos that effectively captured the love all around that day :)

Thank you for the prayer book Auntie Adrian and for the towel Grandma Perrone

Thank you for the crosses Auntie Adrian

The amazing baptismal set from Great Aunt Mary

Due to the nakedness in the rubdown photos and most of the actual baptism photos, they will not be put online
