Gavin's Baptism

We were very blessed to be able to have Gavin baptized at Saint Francis of Assisi Church in West Des Moines on December 9th 2012. It was very special for us to have him baptized at St. Francis since Courtney and I were married there. We have always had a special place in our hearts for St. Francis. The baptism was absolutely amazing!! There were three other children that were baptized along with Gavin and it was a special baptism because it was the 2nd Sunday of the month. All of the children were FULLY immersed in the holy water. I had never seen that done before and it was truly amazing! Gavin did so wonderful....he didn't even let out one little peep! The day could not have been any better as all of our parents and most of our grandparents were able to come for the day. After the baptism was over we headed to Mimi's Cafe for lunch and cake (that Rose made)....THANK YOU to everyone that made it and helped to make Gavin's baptism truly special. 

We feel very blessed to have such a wonderful brother and sister-in-law in our lives, so it was no question that Tony and Jeannie would be Gavin's god parents. Gavin is a very lucky little boy to have such loving aunts and uncles. 

I absolute loved Gavin's baptism gown, it was handmade by his grandma....Thank You Dixie! 

We also want to thank everyone for the wonderful baptism gifts....his first cross, the perfect Christmas ornament. Thanks grandpa and grandma D!

His first bible....we have already starting reading it! Thanks GiGi!!

"That each of us may renew the commitment of our own baptism, renouncing sin and

promising to serve God faithfully in his holy Church, we pray to the Lord....Lord hear our prayer"
