Thomas's Baptism



When Thomas was 3 weeks old he celebrated his first sacrament in the Catholic Church.  It was such a wonderful day, and we were all so happy.  Perhaps none was more happy than big brother Sean, who reminded me on several occasions that Thomas should really be baptized as he still had original sin on his soul.  "He needs grace Mom".  And Sean was right!  On a funny note....during the middle of labor, in the hospital, Patrick answered a phone call from our priest.  Apparently, after talking with Luke, Father had the impression that something may be wrong.  So he was calling to see why we were at the hospital.  Anyhow, Patrick chuckled and thought maybe Father was calling to set up a baptism.  A few weeks later, all was well and Thomas More was welcomed into the church by family and friends...and certainly the saints in Heaven.  It was quite a site at church as Thomas's godparents have four children and other friends that came have 5.  Other friends and their children came too!  Then back to the house for a cookout and swimming.
