Sunday was Baptism day for M, at the same church where his daddy was baptised nearly 36 years ago. He looked so handsome in his white suit (thanks godparents, Caro and Oscar!) Just moments after arriving at the church, he started chasing little buddy Oscar, Jr. and took a tumble; there went the knees. Another few moments and a misdirected hug from Grma L. and he had lipstick on his shoulder.
During the ceremony, the priest explained the symbolism of the sacrament; the oil, the water, the candle and, "white is the symbol of new life in Christ, which is why M is wearing pure white.....(pause).....ALMOST pure white."
We all went back to casa rosa for the party. It all worked out just fine. Though Sergio lost his voice and began to feel really bad. He headed upstairs to the bedroom and missed most of the party.
More photos from our few days of sight-seeing and celebration of Dia de los Muertos. Wish we could have stayed longer-great having Beth as a travel companion. Missed having Gregg and Jill and Nea along!
Thanksgiving Nea.
