Nicholas was baptized at Holy Redeemer Parish in Vancouver on August 24th. It was a beautiful ceremony attended by both our families. Both Brett, who lives in Florida, and Lyndsey, who lives in California were able to be there as Nicholas' Godparents. Afterward we had a gathering at my folks' place with lots of food and a yummy cake! Baby Nick enjoyed his special day with his family. Thank you to everyone who was there to celebrate with us!
