Lily’s Baptism

img_3316Lily was Baptized last night in an absolutely beautiful and simple Mass celebrated by our good friend Fr. Bill Kessler.

The picture to the left is the first family photo we’ve managed to take since Lily was born. We don’t get many photos taken with all of us in the photo at once and I admit it’s strange to see just how much all of us have changed since our last family photo.

  • Jennifer looks wonderful! I have really enjoyed listening to you both leading up to the birth. I must say you have a very handsome family and Lily is so very beautiful. Keep up the great work on Sirus! I listen each day as I take my son to preschool. You always bring a smile to my face. God Bless You All.

  • Thank you for posting the pictures- they are beautiful!! I totally agree about the oil, I was disapointed when it wore of after my son’s Baptism in December, love that scent!!!!!

  • Call me “Fluer de Lis” Phyllis from PA. I listened today when you had your parents as guests. I know well who bapized me. It was Fr. Sprecher, the same priest who married my parents. I say a special prayer each day for Father Sprecker who baptized me and for all the priests who have administered the other sacrements to me (Fr. John Albert who gave me First Eucharist, Auxilary Bishop Murphy who confirmed me, etc.) as well as the nuns (from the Holy Union Sacred Heart order and the School Sisters of Notre Dame order) who instructed me in Catholic School for 12 years. This is something you might want to start with your kids who can carry it into adulthood.
    Blessings to you and the gang at the Willits house.

  • Congratulations. I agree that the oil smells AWESOME. I couldn’t stop smelling my kids all day after they were baptized. I think my husband thought I had gone nuts!! LOL. What a lovely family you have!

  • Wow! Congratulations! I’ve been out of touch with RA and SQPN for a while, but knew that you were pregnant last fall. I am so happy to see that your pregnancy has given you your lovely Lily. God Blesses!
