We baptized our children at Blessed Sacrament Church in Madison on 30 DEC 2001. The ceremony took place after Mass of the Holy Family performed by Father Roman. Richard attended the school at Blessed Sacrament from 1st grade through 8th grade. We were able to gather afterwards at the Parish Center for a small luncheon and even watch the Packers beat the Vikings.
Sarah and Justin Vance, Richard's sister and her husband, are the Godparents to Maddy. Jan Braun and Denny Merlin, Lisa's siblings, are Godparents to Brock.
