Jude's Baptism

This past weekend, Jude was baptized. It was an absolutely wonderful weekend! Mamie, Dude, Aunt Amanda, Jenna Kate, and Parker came in town on Friday night, so Jude was able to meet his cousins and Aunt Amanda for the very first time early Saturday morning. Jenna Kate and Parker were so sweet with him and I can't wait to watch them play together as Jude gets bigger. Saturday, Peppy, Nali, Aunt Kath, Matthew, Caroline, Uncle Matt, and his girlfriend Mary Kathryn came in town. We grilled hamburgers and hung out. It was so great to get have the chance to visit with everyone. We had such a good time! Sunday, Jude was baptized at 2 p.m. at Christ the King Catholic Church. Deacon Tim officiated the ceremony and he did SUCH  a great job. He really made a point to explain everything he was doing and make everyone feel comfortable and included. He also baptized Jude with a shell from Ireland, the home of his red hair :). Here are a few pictures from the weekend....
