Baby Blessing

Allegra's baby blessing will be on September 14th. We wanted everyone to know, but we realize not everyone will be able to attend. Please don't feel obligated or pressured to be here. We recognize that their are many factors which prevent people from being able to travel right now (pregnancy, jobs, finances, school, and more) and we are totally fine with that. We love you guys a lot and are announcing it so no one (hopefully) just didn't know it was happening.

We would also like to take this opportunity to apologize to both the Braun and Lisonbee family. We will be unable to travel down for the baby blessing or for Emma's baptism. Carrie and I went back and forth on different options, trying to find a way to make it work. We feel very badly and we really wanted to be there for both occasions. Our hearts are with you and we hope that everything goes perfectly. Carrie and I do plan on making a trip to Texas with the girls at a later date. We know they want to spend some time with their cousins.

No need to apologize. We also can't make it out to Allegra's blessing even though we'd just love to be there. We'll just have to wait for Christmas time and then we'll all get to play together. It's gonna be a blast. Can't wait to see you guys.

We appreciate the thought, and effort! We'll be thinking of you guys, too, and feeling jealous that we don't get to hold new baby Allegra.

Mark...the Edwardsons are in for the baby blessing....but unfortunately out for the Braun/Lisonbee events in Texas as well. Can't wait to see everybody at Christmas time. Man, there are a lot of cousins! It should be great fun...
