Last Sunday was a really special day for the Saliba family. Sawyer was baptized! Grammy came up to be part of the celebration as well as his Godparents Brian and Emily Timm. It was a fun weekend, with the exception of Grammy getting sick ( and I am pretty sure Sawyer gave it to her on their day off together). The sun was out and we even walked to church without jackets. Kind of crazy for February! Sawyer was very calm during mass, and didn't seemed to mind when we stripped him down to his birthday suit and wrapped him in a towel. Five other babies went first, and then when it was Sawyer's turn Hani held him waist deep in the font and Father Steve poured water over his head. Sawyer didn't cry or fuss, he seemed curious about what was going on. After his dip, Father blessed him with holy oil, that he still smells like almost a week later, even after multiple showers. Then I changed Sawyer into his baptism outfit and he promptly fell asleep in my arms and slept through the rest of mass. No one really got to see him in his cute sweater. Oh well, he needed his nap. After the baptism we had lots of friends over for a small Lebanese feast. Hani made chicken and hummus, and I had made Teta's spinach triangles and zataar manouche. I also made a lovely white cake with peaches, kiwis, and blackberries. Too bad Sawyer isn't quite old enough for cake.
The Vitons, the Grays, the Bathiches, the Griffins, the Powells, the Timms, the Ollos', and the Erlandsons were all in attendance. It was a great party.
