I am honored to be Evan Kenneth Helmsin's Godmother. Evan's baptism was held at St. Jude Catholic Church on Sunday, February 15th. Joe and April made special arrangements to host his baptism in Indianapolis for the convenience of her family members as well as Dad and I. Joe's mom traveled from the east coast as well for the event - many thanks to them for coming to us!
It was a beautiful day - a bit cold but the sun was shining. TJ, Todd and Dad looked dapper in their sport coats. So much so, they were asked by the church usher to bring up the offeratory gifts during mass prior to the baptism. It was touching to see TJ and his Papa do this. The baptism service was wonderful. It even kept TJ's attention. Following the service, Mom and Dad treated everyone for a late lunch at the Polo Club. We missed Mom's physical presence as she continued to recover from her treatments but April was able to spend Tuesday with her and photos of the event decorate her hospital room walls. By the way, Evan's big sister - Emma is a doll!
