We sat down with our pastor tonight (Tuesday night) and finalized the plans for Ben’s baptism on Sunday, and after the pastor left, Doug and I finalized the details for what Ben is going to wear, what we will serve for food afterwards, etc. We have a cute outfit for him to wear under Doug’s old gown and we have purchased for Ben his first Bible. We decided to get him one he could grow into instead of a board book one for babies or toddlers. Ron and Michelle have been so active in his life so far, so we decided to ask them if they wanted to be Godparents, and they are excited to do so. We discussed many times if Ben should be baptized in the Catholic church or in the ELCA Lutheran one, and the compromise we arrived at is that we were married in the Catholic church, Ben will be baptized Lutheran, his first communion will be Catholic, and he will have both churches for Sunday school, etc. Either way, I am looking forward to Sunday.
