Father's Day was such a special occasion for us this year. Not only was it Daddy's First Father's Day but we were able to spend the day with both Grandfather, Sir and Grandpa John. We enjoyed a great brunch at a fancy restaurant with the Grandparents, Uncle (and Godfather) Scott and Miss Sarah, and Grandma Ruth.
Later, Ryan was baptized and brought into the Catholic Church surrounded by so many friends and family. What a special evening! Fr. (Uncle) Maurice performed the baptism and Grandma Eunice played the processional hymn "Baptized by Water" while everyone sang along. There were so many people! Ryan was completely dunked into the baptismal font and he didn't even cry (much to everyone's surprise)! Grandma Belle read a special prayer, as did Godmother Frances and Godfather Scott. It was so neat for Ryan to be surrounded by so many of his loved ones, including his cousins Max, Juliette, Alexis, and Lilliana, his 3 Great Grandmothers, his Great-Great Aunt Marianne, his Great Aunts and Great Uncles, and everyone else that was there! What a day!
The evening was concluded by a reception at Ryan's house - we enjoyed such yummy food from Ryan's Great Aunt Karen, the caterer. It was such a special occasion - thanks to everyone that was there and those that sent your thoughts and prayers.

Ryan, I thoroughly ENJOYED your baptism. Welcome into the church. It was good to see all your family and was great to see the pride of your parents - Becca and Shane.
Love, Great Aunt Mary (Deffenbaugh)
