We also had her baptized while in town in the same church Shaun and I were married in and Owen was baptized in. It almost didn't happen though. We get to the church and there's no one around. We finally found one of the priests who said it was an oversight on the churches part but he was gracious enough to perform the service on a whim. We then headed over to my dads to celebrate afterwards. It was so nice to be able to have the ceremony held in St. Louis so Elena and her family could celebrate with us.
It's hard to see her dress but Elena made it. I thought that was so special and it was beautiful.

While we were in town we had a surprise party for Shaun's 30th even though his birthday is in December but I wanted him to be able to celebrate with the family. And boy was he surprised. He had now idea about it or that I was behind it. Thanks to his aunt Angel it all came together great.
Taking a shot of course.
Terrorizing his son.
Before Shaun's party we visited with Elena and her family. Owen absolutely loves Gabby, Elena's sister, who I think is 15. He's so girl crazy. I was glad they got to have time with her and can't wait for them to see her again. She's changing so much. Since January she started crawling, pulling herself up on everything (even climbing on Owen's art table), and she's cruising along the couch now. She's only 8 months - I'm not ready for her to be a walker yet but I think it's going to be here sooner than later.
Just a pic to show what my sweet little girl was doing today -
Yes, that would be dirt all over her mouth because she was eating it out of the house plant.
