Thunder's baptism pictures.
We're all so holy that we can't be photographed (ha. ha.)
Daddy and Thunder
Godparents (H9H & superman M) with Fr. Jerome and Thunder. Buck kept laughing OUT LOUD in church and telling Thunder he looked 'like such a pretty princess.' and asking 'Why are you putting him in that dress?' Needless to say, we'll be framing this family keepsake baptismal gown and not using on any other children :) It is Grandma Jody's wedding dress re-cut into a baptismal gown. It's beautiful...but, you know.
Full immersion Baby!!
