This last weekend, Tony and I were blessed to take part in Gabriel Michael's baptism as his Godparents. This is a holy vocation that Tony and I take very seriously and are proud to do it. Gabriel is the son of our dear friends Jenn and Danny Castro. We hauled our happy butts to Arizona for the occasion and had a wonderful time. It was a whirl wind of a weekend but good times were had. Lessons learned from this trip are when you are pregnant, don't wear high heels to church (especially when you are Catholic because we stand alot) and also to bring a couple of extra pillows to help support your back. I don't know why it didn't occur to me bring a few but sleeping was an issue for me. The baptism was great, their priest Father Richard, gave a wonderful service and is a friend of Danny's with a great sense of humor. Gabriel did better through the service than most of us expected. When Father Richard asked if we reject Satan and evil, Gabriel just started laughing hysterically. He's too young to understand but the irony of the situation did not go unnoticed! I posted pics above. Jenn will email the formal portraits of him in his white satin tuxedo and I will post that at a later date. I couldn't get him to hold still long enough to get a shot of him on Saturday.
