Gunnar Raymond Norgaard was baptized on Sunday, February 6th, 2005, at St. Dominic Catholic Church in Northfield, Minnesota, at the 10:30 a.m. Mass with Father Dennis Dempsey officiating. 

Gunnar's parents are Jenny and Christopher Norgaard of Northfield.

"I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit …"  Five babies were baptized that morning at Saint Dominic's.

Uncle Nick Orsen and Grandma Jean Norgaard stood with the parents as Gunnar's Godparents.

Gunnar Raymond was the center of attention, especially when he cried.

Jenny and Chris hosted a meal at their home after the baptism.  Grandpa Vance Norgaard sat with his grandsons Gunnar and Matthew Norgaard.  Matthew is the son of Eric and Jana Norgaard.

Mama Jenny sat with Gunnar's Grandma Linda, left, and Grandma Jean at Addie's favorite little table.  Everyone seemed to fit just fine.

Jenny visited with (l-r) Sheila and Charlie and Matthew and Kendra.  Sheila is the mommy of Kendra and Caden.  Charlie is a brother of Chris.  Matthew is a nephew of Chris.

Soon it was time to nurse the good little baptized boy who hardly ever complains about anything.

Miss Adeline hung out with the guys in the kitchen, and she sees Grandma Sue with the camera.

Congratulations, son in law Christopher, and thank you for your hospitality.
