As anyone who visits this blog knows, it (along with my other blogs) has been neglected. We have been busy, but I want to record a few events before year’s end, starting with our godchild’s baptism.

On November 17, we were honored to be the godparents of our nephew, Cormac. The baptism was beautiful and included anointing with oil and chrism, the blessing of Cormac’s mouth, ears and eyes, and the blessing of mother, father, and godparents which was followed by the priest holding Cormac high in the air. Catherine snapped a photo as Father was bringing Cormac down.

My sister and brother-in-law went the extra mile with dinner. I was amazed at all my little sister was able to do with a baby who was one day shy of one month old. Hopefully, she wasn’t too tired by the end of the day.

Finally, the cousins all enjoyed playing with each other.

My sister and brother-in-law are doing a wonderful job raising there little ones. Their children are delightful.
