Mason's Baptism

On Sunday, July 15th Mason was baptized at First Lutheran Church in Pittsburgh. He was presented by his Godparents: Sean Fyock and Karen Cockrill. Sean is Mark's brother and Karen is Adrienne's best friend from high school (Sean and Karen were also the best man and maid of honor at our wedding, and we were honored to have them standing up there next to us again on this special day). The baptism ceremony was lovely and we were so touched by all the family and friends who were there to celebrate with us. Mason was a very good boy throughout the church service and he was definitely the star of the BBQ festivities that followed at our house. Mason wore an heirloom christening gown handed down through Adrienne's Mom's family. Her mom was the first to wear it in 1951, Adrienne started the second generation, and now Mason becomes the 11th person and begins the third generation to wear this precious gown. Mason also had the opportunity to wear the christening outfit that Mark and his brother wore when they were baptized - an adorable little white linen romper and jacket that was perfect for him to put on once we returned home from the church to enjoy the party.
Thank you so much to everyone for all your time, effort, and generosity. We greatly appreciate all you did to help make this such a joyous and blessed occasion.
