We had been waiting for this day for a whille now. This was Max's big day and I wanted to make sure everything went smoothly. I knew it was going to be a hot day, but luckily Shawn was doing all the hard work to prepare for the luncheon afterward. I made sure to let Max has a LONG morning nap. We had a bottle right before we left for church and had planned on changing him there (spit happens, ya know!). As soon as we got to the church, later than planned, I was flustered. Wouldn't you know it as I went to change Max into his christening outfit, I smelled a poopy diaper. Luckily my saving grace, Emily, was there to help me out. After that situation we were on to the main event.
It was great to be back at St. Mary's Church for Shawn Maxwell to receive his first sacrament. It brought back many memories because I received the sacraments of Communion, Confirmation and Marriage at this Church. Shawn and I also baptized our beautiful goddaughter, Claire Elizabeth, there. On this special day Max was on great behavior. He didn't cry once (well at the church anyway).
To make this event even more of a family affair Maxwell was joined by his cousin Penny. We had lots of family to share in this joyous day with us. Of course, being such as special event I was a nervous wreck! I really need to work on just going with the flow and not sweating the small stuff. The most important thing is that Shawn is now part of the Catholic Church, which is something that was really important to us. We were glad to have the support of our wonderful family and friends. We love you all!!
That collar drove me crazy the whole time!
