Dallas' Baptism

As I mentioned in a previous post, both the Robertsons and Bergmans came to Iowa to witness Dallas' baptism. We had Dallas baptized on July 6, 2008 during mass at St. Michael's Catholic Church. Josie Bergman (Doug's sister) and Chris DiTomo (a friend from church) accepted to be Dallas' Godparents. Here are some pictures of the special ocassion! (Sorry, some of them are dark because our family was sitting on the other side of the church from the font.)

Blessing the Water


I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


Dallas didn't mind having water poured on his head...he thought it was bath time!

Maxine from church made us a cake for the special day. Not only did we have Dallas baptized, but it was also Granny and Katie's birthdays!


Until next time...

    So the picture of you guys with the sponsors and Father.. I looked at the picture (not paying any attention to the caption) and thought.. who is that girl in the brown? So I opened the picture to make it bigger... you look so grown up! I honestly had to do a second glance to know it was you! I was a little taken back! :) But ya look great for having a baby! Sheesh!
