The baptismal gown that Caleb wore was first worn by his Great Great Grandpa Charlie almost 115 years ago in January of 1896. Since then that same gown has been worn by Caleb's Great Grandpa Jim (1929), Grandpa Mike (1954), Uncle and also Godfather Seth (1983), and dad Andy (1981).
Our regular priest could not conduct the baptism because he was recovering from surgery on his vocal cords just 4 days earlier. Instead Deacon David Brown did an excellent job and Caleb did a great job, not crying or fussing once.
We came back to our house for lunch after the baptism. It was a great day and we were glad so many family members were able to make it to share Caleb's special day.
By the end of the day, both Dad and Caleb were tuckered out!
Caleb you are a cutie. glad you had a great day with your family. Andy what's with the beard? A new look. Andy, Vern said you look pacified! :-)
