Brandon's Baptism

On Saturday July 18, Brandon was welcomed into the church family through the sacrament of baptism.  We were able to have a beautiful service at St. Mary's and celebration after (at the cottage) thanks to the efforts of much of our family and friends, since we were not present to do the preparations.   

Special thank you to:

 Mom for organizing the food

 Carol for bringing her famous yummy potato salad and "sex in a pan"

 Chris for letting us have the party at the cottage

 Michelle for being a there for me and my kids always and serving as Brandon's godmother,  Stephen for being a fantastic cousin to me and the boys and serving as Brandon's godfather,  Lisa and Jeff for their gift of music (Children of the Light and City of God are two of my  favourites)

Peter for playing guitar, videotaping and photographing the day 

Dad for providing us with a beautiful service

 All who came for helping us to celebrate -  could anyone who has pictures from the day please email copies to me - Thank you
