Enzo's Baptism

It's official - Enzo has received his first sacrament. Baptism. It was a very special day filled with lots of family members supporting him and praying that he enters into relationship with God as he grows in his faith and spiritual life.

I must say -- never saw a baptism quite like his. There were eight other babies being baptized; and all were nearly drowned! I mean, seriously, dunking them into the baptismal font would have been less traumatizing that splashing what seemed like gallons of water in their face. Is that what they mean when they say "being baptized in the holy spirit?" While all other babies gasped for air screaming bloody murder as their parents and Godparents trying to mop them up, Enzo's arms flailed to the sides, he caught his breath -- and smiled. What a special kid. And his Great Nana says, "El es un hombre."

He looked like a mini Pope. A sopping wet mini Pope.

And in all the pics, Jeff is sopping wet, too.
