On Sunday, October 18th, Eva Marie Walker was baptized at St. Therese church in Seattle, WA. We were surrounded by family and friends both in presence and in spirit. Our church always includes the baptism as a part of the mass and offers the opportunity for parents to take part in this ritual with their new son or daughter four times a year. The weekend of her baptism happened to fall on the anniversary of Jeff's father's death and the birthday of my nephew, Shawn Patrick Kelly, who passed away this month. For both sides of our family, Eva Marie gave us a reason to celebrate the birth, renewal, and life that she has given us.
She didn't even cry. I think Fussmunchkin has grown up! Happy Baptism, Eva.
