God, I would like you to meet Benjamin Adam.... Ben, this is God....
Ben's Baptism was wonderful! He did great! We were up and out of the house early because he was being baptised at the 8:45am mass. With some prep the night before it all went smooth. 
Father Don baptised Ben and he did a wonderful job. Father Don is a fairly new priest at our church and this was the first of our children that he baptised. It was actually pretty different then the other three but I must say it was beautiful and very special. I brought my video camera but never got it set up so I am a bit bummed about that. He did a special prayer over Ben that I would love to have written down in his baby book but I can't seem to find it online. I will have to ask him if he could write it down for me. It is a prayer he always says when he baptises a baby but Father Andy did not say it for the other three so I am wondering if it is something special that Father Don says. Next time I get a chance to talk to Father Don I will have to ask him.
We chose my best friend Neala to be Ben's Godmother and Chris' good friend Joe to be his Godfather. Chris and I are honored that they are going to be such an important part of our son's life.
A tid-bit you may not know is that Neala was actually there by my side when Ben came into this world! There is already a special bond between the two of them!
By the way, Connor was there but he was being a bit of a nudge, as we would say, and refused to come in the picture!
