Madison Visits

We were able to take two trips to Madison.  First, the girls danced at a Feis, an Irish dance competition. Although I failed to get photos of the girls' dancing, we were able to meet up with Erin and Ana Maria!

And this little gem....well, I have no idea where we were (it's possible that it was the feis as well), but it was just too cute to leave it out!

Later in the summer we made a quick trip to Madison for Ana Maria's baptism.

Packer Family Night

Erin's Baptism

Erin was baptized on Divine Mercy Sunday by Father Quinn Mann.  It was a beautiful day with family, and Erin's Godparents, Erin and Juan.

Owen and Emmett helped serve at the Baptism

Erin is very fortunate to have Erin and Juan as her Godparents.  They will pray for her always.

Welcome to the World Erin!

Beautiful Erin came into the world on March 1, 2007.  She has blessed our lives in more ways than we could count.  Thank you, Jesus, for this precious gift!

In the early months after Erin's birth, we discovered she had a heart defect (VSD) and would require open heart surgery.  It was then that I decided to begin a blog.  I wanted to have a way to update our family and record our memories.  A blog seemed to be the easiest way to do that.  So, with Erin's birth came the birth of Party of Nine, which not long after became Party of Ten.
