The world's newest Catholic

On Saturday, July 4th we were so blessed to be surrounded by family and friends to watch our little Wesley Paul receive the sacrament of Baptism. He did a really good job and is now the newest Catholic that I know. His Godparents drove 5 hours to be with us this weekend and had to endure the Riedel household and all that it had to offer. Guero and Saby will be great Godparents to little Wesley.


The best part of the Baptism is that it was celebrated with the priest that Cody and I feel has had a huge hand in bringing Cody and I closer to God and closer to each other. Father Edmund Eduarte has been a dear friend of ours for 6 years now. We met him down town at Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral and have tried to stay in touch with him as he moves every 2 years or so...first to Magnolia, then Humble and just this week to Freeport.

July 4th for us was a special day in our sons life and we ask for prayers for our little Wesley (and Lizzie too) as they embark on their lives as Catholics. More importantly we ask for prayers for Cody and I as we raise these two beautiful children and for their Godparents Courtney Schuirring, Andrew Brown Jr., Alfredo (Guero) and Sabina Garcia that they can be the best Godparents that they can be.
