The Christening

Today was the main event, the christening of Matthew Emanual Baugnon. It was held in a beautiful church that has been around for a couple of hundred years and Meg's great grandfather was once a minister. It was a great event with family from all over the north east and New Orleans in attendance. Up until the christening, Matthew had been one of the best behaved babies I had ever met. I had not heard him cry and he was only a little fussy if he got hungry. However, as soon as the spotlight was on him he erupted like a volcano. He howled throughout the christening as if the minister were pinching him. to break the tension Meg suggested, "maybe he's Jewish." As soon as the ceremony was over he went back to being a perfect baby.
