We decided to wait a little longer for Elias' baptism than we did for the big boys. Mostly so I would be less postpartum and more not-a-mess.
Elias was baptized on May 15, 2016, which also happens to be our anniversary (7!), and when we were in Rome on our honeymoon Pope Benedict blessed our marriage, and Elias shares a birthday with Pope Benedict. So there you go. All the connections. 
Dreaming of becoming Catholic that morning!
Jeremy and Erin are his godparents...he's a lucky boy!
Msgr. Nemec has baptized all our boys.
My mom made the cake and I just love how it looked. It was delicious too...and I don't even like cake.
Elias received lots of thoughtful gifts. My cousin Kolya gave him some goodies, including a little dolphin because when he was a little boy his favorite toy was a dolphin. So sweet.
My mom always gives me a necklace with my child's birthstone on it, so I combined them all onto one chain. Elias is an April birthday, so diamond. My mom used the last diamond from her Uncle Louie's wedding ring for the necklace. I have the other two diamonds from his ring in my engagement ring. So thoughtful and special!
Welcome to God's family, Elias!
