Jackson's Baptism

We traveled back to Onalaska the first weekend in August to celebrate our precious Jackson's baptism.  I knew I wanted Deacon Frank to baptize our little man and he was gracious enough to to say YES!  (LOVE Deacon Frank!)

So, Friday morning we packed up the Hansen mobile and off we went.  Thank goodness for a day off for Luke!  He not only needed it, but we were able to spend an extra full day having fun as a family.  Jackson's godfather and Luke's best friend flew in from South Bend, IN.  We were able to meet Mr. Lee for lunch in Winona on our way back to WI.  It was GREAT to get a little extra time with him and he was able to meet Jackson and see Jameson before the craziness began Saturday afternoon.

Since our weekend was going to be in and out, we decided to invite all of the grandparents out for lunch before Saturday evening mass/baptism so we could all be together for a nice dinner and then the remainder of the evening.

Lets just say Mass was... interesting...  (to say the least) thank heavens for "cry rooms" at church!  Jameson was a WILD CHILD!  He was not having any part of sitting down!  haha (can you imagine that?!)  He was nonstop the entire hour.  Jackson on the other hand, slept during mass and then was wide awake (and not happy) for the baptism.  But overall, it was WONDERFUL!

Our evening was simply perfect.  Jackson was blessed by so many family members and we all enjoyed our evening celebrating our little man.  A HUGE thank you goes out to Melissa and Lee (Jackson's godparents) for making his day unforgettably special.  We are so incredibly thankful to have such love and support surrounding our family and we know our little man will ALWAYS be taken care of by two outstanding individuals.  You both mean the world to us and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for for all the love you give to our family.

Jackson was not a happy camper :-)
