This past weekend was a very special one for our little boy! Aiden was baptized on Sunday, January 9th at St. Luke's Episcopal Church. He wore the same beautiful gown that Bridgette wore just a year ago. It has been in Bob's family for almost 100 years! Bob's grandfather, Vovo Zizo, wore it when he was baptized (95 years ago) and Aiden is the 26th to wear it. Since Bridgette, it has traveled to Brazil and back... and is ready to go back for Aiden's 2nd cousin Fernando to use. Aiden was surrounded by his grandparents, godparents, and his church family (and Tia Marthi, Tia Christina, and Uncle Jared in spirit!). Another fun happening: when we walked into church it was raining, and when we left it was SNOWING! So, Sunday was Aiden's first snow too. Thank you Vovo e Vovo and Sandra and Cliff for driving up for the weekend! We are so blessed with a beautiful, healthy family!
