Marisa's Baptism

We finally got Marisa Baptised! We could have done it June but we had to take a Baptismal Class (even thought this was our 3rd baby and would be our 3rd Baptismal Class). We didn't want to get signed up in June because we would have had to host the class in our home. So we waited for July's class and after that I scheduled it as soon as I could.

Marisa Angeline Ramos Koehn was baptised on Sunday August 3rd at Saint Ambrose of Woodbury. Her Godparents are Paul and Teresa Ramos.

It was a busy day at the church. During mass there was 3 baptism and after mass there was 5 which included Marisa's! The ceremony went well and pretty fast which was good because we all started to get hungry. Thanks to Mike we took pictures before the ceremony started and than just a few with Father Tom afterwards. Below are some pictures. Thanks Auntie Missy for taking pictures and thanks Uncle Doug for taking the video!

Papa and Grandma. Papa thought he was going to drop her because she was "slippery" in her Baptismal Gown.


We received this Baptismal Gown from my cousin Kuya Edel in the Philippines. He got it for Nicholas and now Marisa got to wear it

Great picture Auntie Missy!


Blessing Marisa


She did so good with the Holy Water, she didn't even cry. Although she probably thought she was getting a bath! She loves to take baths!


A close up




Father Tom said she was so alert! He thought she was listening to every word he was saying to her. Can you see how she is focused on him?!


Jon started cheering for her! I actually don't know what he was doing
