All thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. ISIAH 54:13
This past weekend was extra special for the Brian family. We witnessed the baptism of not one, but two Brian boys. Charlie and Marc were lucky enough to be baptized on the same day, in the same church, by the same priest. And that's about where the similarities of the experience ended.

I'm not saying that Charlie made a spectacle, but let's just say he wanted to make sure everyone knew he was there. Fr. John said, "Oh, he's just extra excited." Uh, yea. Let's go with that one.

| Charlie love the water too! |
Charlie actually was very good. He even enjoyed the water being poured over his head (see previous bathtime post...) It was when Fr. John STOPPED pouring the water that things got messy.
He did however, calm down in time for family photos. Marc on the other hand barely made a sound the entire mass...and baptismal service...and at the party afterwards. Seriously, he's SOOOOO mellow. Charlie could take some notes. But, oh well...I guess I'm just destined to have "spirited" boys.
