Finn was baptized today at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. He did really well with the ceremony and it really was lovely. I must say, baptism wasn't necessarily a top priority for me, but I am so glad we did it. We have been attending this church since we moved to Concord and it is a really nice community of people. I also really enjoy the Reverend Celeste and her take on things. The ceremony was part of the regular church service and seven children were baptized. I got a bit emotional over it. It was amazing to watch Finn experience a ritual that has been conducted for centuries and which both Sean and I experienced as well as Finn's grandparents, great-grandparents, and on.
I wasn't able to get many photos on my camera and I am hoping to get some from those in attendance to share in a 'part 2' post so you can all enjoy. I am also going to subject Finn to a photo shoot tomorrow in his outfit. He won't fit in it long, so I will take advantage tomorrow.
Here is Reverend Celeste:

How exciting! We are fighting with PAFB to get the girls baptized at the church since I was baptized there and we still attend. We are hoping for good news in the next week. Cannot wait to see pictures!!
