Baptism Day (Again)!

Last Sunday, the twins were baptized at our church, St. Thomas the Apostle (where we were married 9 years ago)! You may remember that the kids were baptized in the NICU at Edward Hospital 10 days after they were born...that is the day that is listed on their baptismal certificates. The church told us that we could also have a ceremony at church later, because of our situation in October.

So we waited until Evie was healthy and had a longer break in between surgeries. We had a great day and all of the family and godparents were able to attend. The kids did really well during the ceremony, especially Evie.

Gavin missed a nap and got a little restless, but I used the tried-and-true Cheerio trick and he was just fine. (In our case it was actually Beech Nut Sweet Potato Puffs, but whatever works, right?) Other babies were crying, but ours were little angels. Gavin even high-fived the deacon after getting oil on his forehead!
