KJ is a Christian!!!

What a beautiful weekend. KJ was baptized and DJ received his First Holy Communion (more to follow). The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the baptism were attended by: both sets of grandparents, Great Grandma Lawless, Great Uncle Billy Lawless, Great Aunt Margaret Lawless, Great Aunt Nancy and Great Uncle Eddy Cantino, Great Aunt Connie Helgoth, Cousins Darren and Cindy Lombardi and their kids, and our good friends the Talafuses. Mari and David Talafuse are KJ's Godparents. We met them through the homeschool co-op here in Colorado. They are a wonderful couple with 4 beautiful children and one due very soon. It was such a blessing to have so many family members celebrate with us on this special day.

A year and a half ago when we were here for Christmas, we met the Deacon at St. Peter's parish in Monument. He also was a field agent with the KofC. Blake spoke with him while we were here and found out that he was planning to retire soon. It was that conversation that made us start to think about moving to Colorado. Dcn. Mike has been such a great support to Blake and our family since we moved here, so we decided to ask him to baptize KJ. (Their you have the cast of characters. Now for the main event!)
