I’ve been putting off Bennett’s baptism for months. I’m just not motivated. I finally joined the parish in dallas and hoped to start getting the ball rolling, but everything about it seemed inconvenient. None of my family lives here, both God parents are in gm, and my niece had to be baptized to. The idea of having another joint baptism seemed (in theory at least) to be the easiest way to have both girls baptized with the least amount of work from every one. (Back story: C and her cousin Buggy had a joint baptism 2 years ago at the church in PB.)

So right before leaving for PB last week I decide to randomly check to see if there were any available dates for baptism on our quick trip. And there was! March 17th! Saint Patrick’s day, how appropriate. So I quickly made some phone calls, scrambled to get paper work filled out and crossed my fingers that it would work out! 😬 Finally got a confirmation Thursday, dropped off paperwork Friday, and today (a Saturday) both B and her cousin were baptized.

B wore a long beautiful smocked white gown by Louise of London, I bought for her big sisters baptism because sadly both girls were too old and big to wear my old christening gown. After a short, sweet, and very loud (looking at you B and Wes) we celebrated at Saint Ambrous with a low key brunch and cake (publix bakery is amaze).

Anyway, thank you to the god parents, the uber patient Deacon, Saint Ann’s Church, and baby B. Feeling very blessed and so happy for my baby girl. ♥️😍♥️😍
