Our greatest joy began one year ago. One incredible year of love, wonder, laughter, and so many beautiful firsts. Join us as we celebrate Mason's first trip around the sun and the beautiful blessing of his Baptism.
the adventure is just beginning… and there will be cake. 🎂follow the signs to the celebration…
the first and best adventure
Before the balloons and the cake, we're celebrating something bigger. On this day Mason is baptized — welcomed into the faith that has carried our family for generations.
It's our promise to him: that wherever this wild one wanders, he goes covered in grace, held by God, and surrounded by people who love him fiercely. Having you there to witness that means everything to us.
The ceremony opens the celebration — right there at St Rocco's, no second stop. Please arrive by 1:00 PM so you don't miss it. Everything after is food, cake and celebrating.
May the earth ground you,
the ocean renew you,
the sun awaken you,
the stars guide you,
your ancestors walk beside you,
and may love light your way,
always reminding you who you are.
St Rocco's needs a final number of guests, so please text us how many are coming — grown-ups and little adventurers both. One quick text and you're all set.

one year of love, laughter & incredible adventures
a box full of love, to be opened on his 18th birthday
We invite you to bring one small thing for a time capsule Mason will open when he turns 18 — something meaningful, natural, or sentimental that says this is what I want you to carry with you. It should be small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
A letter with advice, a funny story, or a wish. A favorite quote or poem and why you chose it for him. Advice about love, friendship, money, courage, or happiness. A book you hope he reads, a song with "listen to this when you're 18," a prediction — "When Mason grows up, I think he'll…" — or three things you hope he experiences in his lifetime.
A shell or sea glass from a beach that matters to you. A special stone or a crystal with its meaning. Seeds he can plant when he opens the box. A pressed flower or leaf, an acorn, or a small carved wooden animal from his woodland theme.
A compass for finding his own direction. A key for the doors you hope open for him. A map or postcard marking a place you hope he visits. A coin from 2026 — or from another country, with its story. A star, sun, moon, heart, or bee token, each with its meaning.
A printed photo of you with Mason, note on the back. A family photo, recipe, or tradition written down. A story about an ancestor you don't want forgotten. A cultural keepsake connecting him to his heritage, or a small heirloom that can rest safely in a box for seventeen years.
For Mason —
I chose this shell because I hope you always remember that life is bigger than the shore you're standing on. Stay curious. Travel. And never be afraid to follow the water somewhere new.
Love, Titi ♥ September 19, 2026
Whatever you choose, tuck in a little note telling Mason why you chose it. Twenty years from now, the note is what will mean the most. ♥
Your presence and your time-capsule treasure are truly all we wish for. If you'd like to bring something more, Mason would love:
can't decide? just bring yourself — we'll have cards & pens at the party
so you can leave Mason a few words. 💌
to be opened September 2043 — when the adventure truly begins ⛰️
We would love to celebrate this incredibly special day with you and our little wild one.
