On Sunday February 19, 2012 our niece Lillian Rose was baptized at a local Catholic church. Not only was it a gorgeous day, it was also a beautiful day for so many other reasons. It was an uplifting expieriance not only for Lily, but for all those who attended. Lily has been blessed with her new Godfather Dave and Godmother Cindy. As I stood there watching Lily being blessed with holy water, I couldn't help but see our nephew Jordan standing right beside his new baby sister. The look on his face was priceless. Lily and Jordan already have a special bond. They both can actually make eachother laugh. When Jordan isn't home from school yet, Lily will see one of his pictures and get the biggest smile. She loves her brother and he loves her. It's the kind of a rare bond that my brothers and I still have. Believe it or not my brothers and I never faught while growing up. They took me under their wing not only as their sister, but also as their friend. When we all still lived with our parents we would go shopping together. Every Tuesday we would go to a local music store called Tracks and buy the latest CD's. We would pile into my brother Brian's brand new Beretta. I thought I was so cool;) In high school I went with my brothers and their friends to OzzFest. Yes I know what your thinking. Amanda and OzzFest???Yes it's true! They always included me in everything and by doing that their friends became my and now Justin's good friends. We've been to Vegas together twice now. Oh the memories there! I'll save that for another post! Anyways, on the day of Lily's Baptism I saw Jordan looking at Lily like a proud big brother. I get the sense that Jordan and Lily will be lucky enough to have the same kind of bond that I continue to share with my brothers. We are all truely blessed.
