God Bless Evangeline Elizabeth!

On March 20th, Evangeline Elizabeth was baptized into the Catholic Church.  To celebrate the occasion, Nanny, Papa, Allie and Lili all flew into town and we had an absolutely wonderful weekend celebrating Evie and our out-of-town guests.  We wish the rest of the Bird/Speier crew and Mr. Bowker could have been here, too.

Friday afternoon at UD.  Even Genny and Maggie Nelson came to hang out!!

Aunt Chris and Uncle Bert made it up from Austin, too!


Sunday morning:  Evie gets some graces!

It was a beautiful, intimate baptism at the Chapel of the Incarnation on UD's Campus and there was a fantastic brunch celebration at Jon and Katie's afterward.

It was a great day.
