Holy Baptism!

Truman had a busy weekend that began on Friday morning when his New Jersey aunts landed in Austin. They were so eager to meet him that they started snapping photos at baggage claim. I don't think he knew what to make of it all, but by Monday when they'd left, he was a sad boy after all that attention. (His mom was sad, too.)


Family continued to arrive on Saturday, and on Sunday we all assembled for Truman's baptism at St. Austin's, where Alison and Paul were married. Here are the proud parents with the baptismal candidate right before the ceremony.


He wasn't too happy about the starchy outfit, but he looked pretty snazzy.


Here we are with godparents Elizabeth and Harvey. Thanks for coming in, guys!


One set of proud grandparents....


An action shot! Truman looked a little uncertain but didn't cry when the water hit his forehead.


An uncooperative baby with Uncle Harvey and Aunt Linda.


Yum! This cake was identical to the one that Grandmommy supplied for Alison's shower. As with that one, it was all gone within 36 hours.


I think Truman was asking Paul for a piece of cake.


Thanks, everyone, for making the trip, coming to the after-party and sending all of the good wishes and generous gifts. Truman's one lucky baby.
