Isa here. I had my big important day on Sunday 5/10/09 - my baptism! What a wonderful day.
Here's a pic of Xia running around in the cafeteria before mass:
Then, it took both Grandma AND Mommy to get me into my outfit. I wasn't real pleased:
Here's Mommy walking us to our seats:
Here we all are, my family - and my God family - the Volpes, and Father Leo:
Here is where Father Leo poured the water on me - WOW. I slept through the whole mass believe it or not, but I felt the power of the Holy Spirit:
We had a gathering in the cafeteria afterwards. Here are my proud Mommy and Daddy with me:
And here are my Godparents, Jim and Heather:
Here's my silly big sister enjoying her favorite, Chocolate Chip Cookie:
We were so happy that my Great Grandmom and Aunt Kathy made it:
And our friend Brian with Jim:
Of course Grandma was there:
Good friends Fred and John:
And Lyn and Tina with Heather:
I felt very snuggly in Heather's arms:
And slept like a baby (imagine that) in Great Grandmom's arms:
Xia and I with Great Grandmom and Aunt Kathy:
Xia with my Godsister Maryam (no, we did not coordinate the colors!):
Xia with the kids in my God family, Giana, Isaac and Maryam:
Here's a video of Xia and Isaac running around a pole:
And Maryam, Giana and Xia dancing:
A shot of Mommy, Daddy and me with Heather and Jim:
A shot of the families together:
Father Leo was able to stop by, here he is with Xia and Maryam:
And here he is with Daddy and me:
When it was all over and we were back home, Xia had fun opening all of the presents (I'm just not able to on my own... yet!):
What a truly blessed day!
