Doubly blessed in more ways than one!

Mary Immaculate Church in Farmers Branch

Earlier this month we were blessed to have most of our family come to town to witness Chase and Emerson's baptism. We were also blessed to have Patrice's cousin, Father Kevin, fly in from Baltimore to officiate (he performed Caitlyn's baptism and I secretly hope that he will marry all our children some day). The ceremony was beautiful and the kids were well behaved (with the exception of Chase blowing raspberries here and there). Afterwards we went back to our house for mimosas and a delicious brunch. It really was a team effort and I'm so grateful for everyone who was able to come. It made everything that much more special. To capitalize on having the most family we've had in one place since we got married almost ten years ago, we had our favorite photographer come out and take some beautiful family shots to help us memorialize the occasion. It was a great weekend with great company and great food.
