The Thornburgs: Wyatt's Baptism Weekend

Wyatt Wayne (or W2 as the Thornburgs sometimes call him) was baptized this weekend. Andrew was asked to be his godfather and he gladly accepted the honor. He was baptized at St. Tom's in West Lafayette which has special meaning for us because that's where we did our Pre Cana. The same woman who did our Pre Cana does baptisms too I guess.

Well anyway, back to the story of our weekend-- it's Road Trip Time!
Tommy is not very fond of his car seat which is just awful. He just cries and cries. He used to cry himself to sleep but he didn't this time. The only thing that would calm him down was if I would blow on his face.

Annnddd that made me a little dizzy but hey, he slept! Thank goodness!

We also stopped at Culver's where Tommy hung out and tried to pick up chicks...

On to the baptism...

I love this picture. So cute!

Wyatt really enjoyed the ceremony. I mean, seriously, churches have so much stuff to climb on! Here's Wyatt with Grandpa Kevin, or as my brother knows him: the Mayor of Munchkin Land.

He's about to be anointed with the oils. (Hey at least they don't use butter anymore.) Father (?? didn't catch his name) did a great job and explained the back story to all the traditions and why they do the things they do. It was interesting to hear the hows and the whys.

Godfather and godson waiting for the holy water.

Almost Dunkin' Time!

He's in!

Time to dry off. Definitely not as fun as a bath but it wasn't too bad.

Tommy made it through the ceremony but quickly conked out shortly after.

We went to Nine Irish Bros afterward but Tommy didn't last long there. (Yes, Tommy got to go into his first BAR! Yay!)
So promptly made our way back to Grandma and Grandpa's house where we had a quick photo shoot before making our way back to South Bend.
