Peter's Baptism

Peter was baptized on Palm Sunday, April 13th at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. He wore the same baptismal romper that Henry and John wore. And John wore the same tap-dancin' church shoes that Henry wore. And Henry's sport coat came from a consignment sale. We love hand-me-downs in our family.

Peter's godparents are Kevin Thrower and Carly Whatley. Kevin is my cousin and my godmother's son. Carly is my dear friend from high school. We were honored that they both traveled from out of town to be there.

Peter did not cry during the baptism (fitting, since he loves bath time). John fell asleep on Gus' shoulder before the baptism even started. And Henry had to be kept from playing with items at the altar. Deacon Bill has baptized all three of our boys, so he knew to expect an "entertaining" baptism.

After the baptism everyone came back to our house for lunch. We enjoyed a taco bar from Willy's (Henry and John's favorite meal) and some Makris party staples: punch, cake, and candy. Then Peter passed out on Great Aunt Mary. Luckily the big boys were happy to help Peter open his gifts.
