"...anointed by the Holy Spirit; a new adopted son of God"

Sunday October 14th, Brooks was baptised into Christ's death and resurrection at the 5:00 mass at Immaculate Conception. Our great friend Fr. Jeff came in to celebrate the mass, and dad performed the baptismal rites. We're extremely blessed to have clergy in the family in the form of my old man, who coincidently celebrates his 25th year of serving in the diaconate next month. He has proudly baptised all 6 (many more to follow, God willing) of his grandkids. Due to the genorosity of Jenn's and my parents, we took the sacramental celebration to El Guapo's afterward for some fajitas and fun.
We love you FJ Extremely proud grandparents of six beautiful kiddo's, 4 of which are Caryn and Chad's. Brooks will get to share his "1st Christmas" with Jack, who was born May 16th of this year. Wow, slow down Chad and Caryn, we have some catching up to do.
Proud grandparents and great-grandparent Mimi

...more proud great-grandparents, granny & papa, & "super-aunt" Shirley.
...Brooks' other great-grandparents, Grandma & Grandpa Vogel wanted to be there, but were on a cruise celebrating grandma's 8oth b-day. Happy birthday gigi!

We were honored to have the worlds greatest "baby-doctor" and his wonderful family celebrate this special day with us. He also delivered Caryn & Chad's last kiddo. As you can see Dr. Mcdonald is also very blessed. His wife Michelle is one of the most outgoing, fun-loving people you could ever have the pleasure of knowing...and she's beautiful too! He also has 5 of the most polite, enjoyable kids I've ever been around. (Must take after their mother)
