Look closely on that cake and you'll see that Anthony was baptized 4 weeks ago today, when he was only 4 days old. We didn't want to wait too long, and Palm Sunday and Easter were coming, and my sister was due with her baby 2 weeks after me (Clara Grace, born Mar. 30th!), so we chose to baptize him quickly. And let it be known that I did not do anything to prepare for this after Anthony was born, other than pick out clothes for myself and the kids.
Here is Anthony on his big day, with the first layer on.
He was irresistible to the boys.
And the girls.
All bundled into his carseat.
A view of the now maxed out min-van. Look at those coats. You'd think we were having a blizzard or something.
Well, as a matter of fact, we were! The day before was fine, but we woke up to the above. It was slick, too. We saw one car off the road on the way to the church. And the wind was blowing some good-size drifts. We almost didn't make it through one on the way back home. Unfortunately, the snow kept everyone from my family from coming. You don't exactly expect a blizzard when you are planning a baptism in the second half of March!
When we got to the church and unbundled everyone, I got Anthony ready for his big moment. He is wearing the Brungardt baptism gown and cap, which all our boys have now worn, as well as many cousins. Dan and some of his siblings wore this gown as well.
The pouring of the Holy Water and the words of the priest, and we now have a new little Child of God! A blessed moment! He didn't cry at all during his baptism.
Our family with our parish priest, Fr. Pat York.
Anthony with his proud parents.
The Brungardt family.
Resting after the big event.
How do you get 10 mostly small children to pose for a picture?
Promise them cake, of course! Dan's brother and his family were able to come to the baptism and provided much of the food for the little party afterwards!
Anthony Joseph Brungardt, with a clean soul and that spicy smelling head!
