Church and Baptism

As many of you know we have been somewhat schizophrenic in our church going.  Some weeks we would attend First Baptist and other weekends St. Ignatius Catholic.  With Arianna now able to go to church we have decided it is time to pick one church and stick with it.  We also decided we wanted to either baptize or christen her depending on the church we chose.  After much thought and prayer we have decided to join the Catholic church and have Arianna baptized Catholic.  Her Baptism is set for March 5 and her Godparents are my brother Kevin's wife Kristy and my cousin Chuck. 

Chuck is coming down for the Baptism and we will have someone stand in for Kristy who is coming a few weeks later to visit and we will do something special then to introduce Arianna to her godmother.  We are also planning to get our marriage blessed by the church in the next several weeks.  We have been attending baptism classes for Arianna and are looking forward to her big day in just a little over a month.  Here she is in her church outfit this morning.  She started talking during the sermon today as if to agree with the Priest as he told us all to be more mindful of the Beatitudes in our lives.
