Austin did not even cry when the Holy water was poured over him. We are thinking it was because it was extremely hot and it cooled him down. He met so many new people who were anxiously awaiting his arrival. Thank you to our family and friends who could witness this special event with us. It meant a lot to us to have you there! Let's see who all came: Grandma and Grandpa Fairbairn, Grandma and Grandpa Engemann, Great Grandma Engemann, Aunt Maryjo, "Aunt" Katy, Uncle Arvid, Aunt Karen, Tobby Smith who was the Godfather, Marybeth Smith, Kayla, Preston, and Logan (Tobby and Marybeth's kids), Becky who was the Godmother, and Jason.
After his baptism we headed to Grandma's house to celebrate with food and cupcakes. It was fun and even more people came to visit like Aunt Leah, Uncle Dug, Uncle Bryan, and Aunt Wendy! Austin received many great gifts too. We are so blessed as a family. He got his own bible that he will be able to take to church with him when he gets older from Grandma and Grandpa Fairbairn and a pretty Catholic prayer book. I have already read it to him and it lulls him to sleep. His godmother got him a prayer book too. He loves this as well. She also got him a beautiful frame. I love it! Tobby's family got him a wooden rosary (so cool), a Veggie Tales sing a-long dvd (can't wait to play this!), and a book on manners from Veggie Tales. He got a gift card to Target from Arvid and Karen, I wonder what he'll choose! :) Wendy got us a stepping stone kit so we can put his hand prints and footprints. It will be a wonderful keepsake. It will be interesting to actually get his footprints and hand prints. We made Daddy a father's day present with hand prints and it was nearly impossible to get a good print! Oh well, we'll try it!
Austin was so well behaved today and he was held by so many different people. Scott and I are so blessed to have a happy baby and not to mention cute! :)
