Nora's Baptism

Nora was baptized on October 13, 2013.  It was a beautiful ceremony with Fr. Christopher Gama.  Fr. Chris was just ordained in May, and Jon and I were able to attend his ordination because it was held at our church.  We also had Fr. Chris over for dinner shortly before he was ordained.  He is a wonderful man, priest, and friend.  We were honored to have him come up from Colorado Springs to baptize our Nora.  We were also honored to have about 75 family and friends join us to celebrate.  Including her Uncle Pete, and her Godparents, Uncle Pat & Aunt Sarah who all flew in for the weekend.

Nora is the 54th baby to wear the baptismal gown, followed by her sisters Cecilia, and Lilly Jeanne.  Her Godparents did a great job dressing her.  Its all part of the tradition.

Nora cried and screamed through the entire ceremony.  Despite me trying to feed her just before we started.  I did the mom dance/bounce from start to finish.  Of course, just as we finished she fell asleep.  She was baptized among family and friends, and it was a beautiful way to welcome her into our Catholic faith.  We celebrated with a small reception at the church afterwards.
