Zachary's Baptism Weekend

We are just now winding down from our weekend filled with some very special events. On Friday, Zachary had his 6 month well visit at the pediatrician. He is weighing in at 20 lbs 1 oz and is 27 1/2 inches long. He received a good report and took the shots like the little man that he is.

We had several family members travel from Indiana for Zachary's Baptism on Sunday. My brother, Nathan, was one of the out-of-town guests and attended his first Red Wings game on Friday evening. Wings won, 5-2, and a great time was had by all!

On Sunday, Zachary was Baptized at our church. The Godmother is Randy's cousin, Rana, and the Godfather is my brother, Nathan. It was a touching service followed by a beautiful and delicious luncheon at The Dearborn Inn. A heartfelt thank you to Randy's parents for hosting such a special lunch in honor of their grandson!

Zachary's Great-Grandpa McGinley and Great-Grandma McGinley were part of the crew that made the trip from Indiana. We couldn't be more touched by their willingness and effort to share in our special day!
