Love, Jake, Celest and Andray Paul
Andray was very excited to get baptised and he really was such a good baby in church.
Jake's aunt, Sister Perpetua, made this blanket that Andray is laying on for all her great nieces and nephews to be baptised with...VERY SPECIAL.
Andray's baptismal gown was the gown that I wore for my baptism almost 27 years ago. My Grandma Catherine made that gown for me. The blanket that he's laying on is the blanket that my Grandma Catherine made for him...so special. Gram was unable to make it for the baptism because she got sick the Friday before. We were very sad that she wasn't there, but we knew she was there in spirit, along with Gpa Shorty!
Our family, Andray was so handsome in all white....
Andray's cross on his gown is the cross that I wore on my wedding dress...pretty special.
Our church's steeple in St. Augusta...
The mass was beautiful and it was so special to be up on the altar to watch Andray get baptised. He didn't even cry when they poured the water over his head.
Andray's so lucky to have Jacob and Sarah has his Godparents...
The "Godfadda" Jacob is soooooooooooooooo proud!
Andray is so lucky to have his Auntie Sarah as his Godmother, he loves her so much!
The Stang's
Papa Steve and Grandma Sandy are so proud too....Andray is so lucky to have such great grandparents!
Papa Larry and Grandma Carol are so proud of Andray...
Andray Paul with his great grandparents, Andy and Edith Stang. It was very special for them to be there to witness Andray's baptism.
The Frank's....
The Frank's with Andray...
Auntie Rhonda just loves Dray to pieces!
Here's the Frank and Henn girls (and Andray of course)...Mom, me, Andray, Isa, Megan, her sister Abby and her mom Lynn. Thanks for coming up for the baptism Lynn and Abby, so great for you both to finally meet Andray!
Andray's cake was beautiful and everyone enjoyed the chocolate marble cake from the Cold Spring bakery.
Even though Andray didn't get to try his cake, he still loved it! Canyou tell that Andray is a little tired from his big day? Needless to say, he went to bed about 2 minutes after this photo.
Jake and I got individual cupcakes for our four nieces to eat...Mya loved it and tried to eat the cupcake whole...it was hillarious!
Mya loved the cake! 
Isa liked the cake, but not quite as much as Mya.... 
Andray sure does love his Auntie Megan....
Andray and Aaron are Fighting Illini fans together! Uncle Aaron was so pumped when he showed up at our house and Andray was sporting the Illinois outfit!
Aaron and Megan and Isa arrived on Friday afternoon, so we tipped back a few beers getting ready for the big day on Saturday. Andray even got to catch a few sun rays on Friday afternoon while we were setting up the garage...
Isa was walking in our backyard with Aaron and I. She was starting to get restless, so I told her to come over and smell our ONE tulip that we have in our backyard. Before we knew it, Isa had pulled the bloom off the stem and was smelling it, it was soooooooooooooooooooooooo funny and cute!
On Friday, Isa kept taking off Andray's socks and would point to his feet, saying,"TOES"...it was so cute!
Andray can't wait for Papa Larry to teach him how to fish!
Isa loves to play with basketballs...Aaron was trying to teach her to dribble. Hate to say it, but I think she's going to be a "lefty"!!!!ON MONDAY MORNING BEFORE ANDRAY AND I DROVE MEGAN AND ISA DOWN TO THE CITIES...
Andray loves his cousin Isa, but he didn't want to take anymore photos...it was so funny to just watch Isa look at him while he was crying. Megan and I could just see the wheels turning in her head....like, "seriously Andray, stop crying!" hahahahahaha....
Isa put Andray's nuk in and it worked...no more crying!
Andray is smiling more and more now....we love it! Last Friday when I picked Andray up from daycare he smiled the biggest smile when I walked downstairs to get him...it brought tears to my eyes! Andray is now 2 1/2 months old...it's been quite an amazing 10 weeks for Jake and I. Couldn't imagine life without him.
