Gift of God

Yummy cake!
Deacon Darrell Christening Eoin . . . he seemed to enjoy it!

The meaning of Eoin's name is 'gift of God' and today he became a child of God as he was Baptized into the Catholic faith. His Baptism was held at St. Mary's, the church that Jordan and I were married in and belong to as parishoners. He was such a good boy throughout the ceremony! His gown was made from Grandma Kohn's wedding dress. It was such a wonderful day with family; Auntie Hannah and Uncle Trevor were able to make it over from Ireland and they joined Grandma Brown, Kelly, Tim, McKaylah, Grandma and Grandpa Kohn, Erin, Jessi, Josh, Pat and Dawn at the church and then afterwards at Grandma and Grandpa Kohn's for some lunch and pool time and cake!
McKaylah's cake couldn't come fast enough because during the ceremony she started singing "Happy Birthday" while the Godparents were lighting the candle . . . afterwards she asked, "where is the cake?" We assured her that some was coming!
Eoin received some beautiful gifts and he is very thankful! Especially a great big thanks to Grannie Annie from Ireland for the beautiful hand-knit cardigans! We are hoping to make a visit to Ireland soon, Eoin can't wait to meet everyone :)
