As John would say, Dylan was dunked this Sunday. This time we remembered the baptism candle, but we were not there 20 minutes early like they asked. How does anyone with two kids get out the door before 10am? It was kind of chaotic with 7 babies being baptized after mass and an unorganized Deacon running the show. Since we had to attend mass first and the baptism was after, two hours in church was a long time for a nearly 2 year old to handle (and 28 year olds for that matter), but we survived!
The front row makes it easy for a 2 year old to escape, so Reagan was not sitting with us for too long.
Getting "dunked."

The baptismal gown that Dylan wore was the same gown that Reagan wore. This year marks the 100th year of that gown. John's great grandmother was married in 1909 and the gown was made out of her wedding dress in 1910. The dress was worn by John's grandmother, John's mom, John and now our kids. A total of 26 babies in John's family have worn it.
