Grandma Turek would be up here so it was imperative to schedule the baptism for her visit, and it went off today perfectly and Henry did not cry at all (he saved it for picture time). Due to some scheduling changes we ended up having our baptism after mass. St Patrick's prefers doing it during mass, but an "older family in the parish" bumped us from the schedule. Sorry Henry, your family is merely hoi polloi. We'll try to work on some social climbing in time for your Communion and Confirmation.

It all worked out great though -- I'm certain he would have screamed bloody murder if he was baptized during mass.
