Sunday, the 19th, we had a mass to celebrate Kevin's parents marriage and to baptize Ashlin. Father Nolan, who married us and baptized Mary, officiated and it was a great service. As part of the service Kevin and his siblings each brought up items that had significance in the life of their family. Here were a few of the items: a teapot, for all the shared cups of tea they had drank (and boy do they drink tea); Kevin's mother's, first cane (she has MS), for all the hard times and bumps one goes through in life; a rose plant, for his parents' love of gardening; a birth certificate for Kevin's sister who passed away shortly after birth; Holy Water from Lourdes, a place of significance in the Brown family; and bread and wine, for the body and blood of Christ. I am so lucky that I married into such a wonderful family! Below are pictures from the Christening and the dinner and party afterwards.
