Jacob's Baptism

Jacob was baptized on January 11.  His godparents are Brian and Cristi.  He was baptized by Father Sam Matthiesen.  It was the Baptism of the Lord, which is also the same day that Daniel was baptized six years ago.  Here are their pics.  See any resemblance?  Daniel was a bit older at his baptism, by about 1.5 months, so his hair is longer and his cheeks are chubbier.

Jacob gave a good loud cry when Father Sam poured the water on his head, and he stopped abruptly when Brian held him up again.  Father Sam was liberal with the anointing oils, and Jacob's whole head was dripping with oil.  You could smell it on his head even after we washed it multiple times!

 

It was a beautiful ceremony.  We had many people join us - Uncle Brian & Aunt Cristi, Grandma, Abuelo & Abuela, Uncle Luis, Adolfo, Pita, and Adolfo E. Diaz, the Stephens family, and Greg & Jennifer Kroeger.  We celebrated afterward at our house with a big lunch.
