Eoin was christened on Sunday at Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Palo Alto. It was a wonderful day spent with friends and family. We were very excited to have Amy, Eoin's birthmother, join us for the day. It was so good to see her again and catch up.
Eoin wore the Campkin/Pomianowski family christening gown which dates back to the early 1800's. Fr. George did a great job at the christening and nearly got the pronunciation of all of Eoin's names right. Eoin slept through the whole thing and didn't even flinch when the water was poured over his head. Our favorite part was when all the children at the mass where invited to welcome Eoin to the church. They all came up and blessed him on his forehead.
Katie fulfilled he godmother duties perfectly and represented our other godparents who were back in Ireland and England. We know that Katie is going to be a great god mommy (especially when it comes to teaching Eoin to swim!).
After church we had a big lunch at one of our favorite restaurants and before we knew it the sun had gone down and we were all exhausted.
