I went back home to the N.O. last week for a very special day. J decided over the summer (sometime in July) that he wanted to be baptized. I kept asking him if he knew what that meant...asking if anyone coerced him to do it...asking him if he was sure. He was unbreakable. So, on August 29th (yes, the 5 year anniversary of Ka.trina), J was baptized.
He was so excited the whole day.
Baptized by his grandfather, a deacon of the church. I would like to get this photo touched up and sketched (by an artist greater than I). I think that this would make a pretty cool picture to put up in his room.
Right before taking his first communion, 
This was the same man that christened him 8 years ago.
Taking the Lord's supper.
Accepting his certificate.
Proud momma!
He smelled this cake in the house the night before.
Bling 1.

Bling bling.
Kids grow up so fast...his christening (May 19th, 2002).

This is beautiful and so touching. Congrats J!! (Is that what you say when someone decides to get baptized? I'm not sure.) Anyway...way to go!
Awesome.
Awe, look at that baby photo! Congrats to J. I'm proud of him for deciding to do this.
Awww, that's wonderful! And the date could not be more fitting. That day will now hold a beautiful memory.
