Troy's Baptism

Troy was baptized on October 6, 2012 in the very same church that I was baptized in - St. Augustine's Catholic Church in Taber, Alberta.  Troy's grandparents (Gramma Annie and Papa Martin) were his Godparents.  It was a very special day.

Ready for my big day!

Godmommy getting me dressed (it is traditional for the Godmother to dress the baby)

Putting on the knitted booties that Gramma Rose made for me. 

On with the beautiful silk romper

All dressed and ready to go
