Charlie's Baptism

Charlie was baptized on Sunday, April 29th at Blessed Sacrament Church.  It was a beautiful day and we were happy to be surrounded by so many people we hold dear.  Taryn and Steve are Charlie's godparents and they were both able to be there which made it really special for us. 

Thanks to Mr. Moore I have some pictures from the mass.  I had a million things racing through my head during the mass--none of which involved my camera.  I remember Father saying before we went up that siblings were welcome on the altar during the actual baptism.  Ahh! 

Fragile, holy items + 2 overtired, curious little ones = one stressful mom

When we were called up to the altar, Jack as expected, wanted to explore the surroundings.  Lily was being a typical three year old and decided it was a good time to throw a tantrum.  And the baby was beautiful but spit up all over his christening outfit at the end.  The most memorable part was when Father realized there was no holy water up on the altar.  Oops. 
It was all great anyway. 
God bless Charles Seamus Archer.  We love you Charlie!

The picture below captures the craziness.  I'm trying to wrangle Lily and Steve is keeping an eye on Jack.  Taryn is praying that this will go smoothly and Charlie is the only one noticing that there no water !  Hahahah.

The two pictures below are a couple favorites of the day.  I love that they're having so much fun.
