Tiago's Baptism

We wanted to get Tiago baptized in Houston before we left so we could have as many people as possible attend - and since both godparents live in Houston. St. Michael has group baptisms on the first and last Sundays of the month, in the afternoon. We selected March 27th since that was a day Jaime was able to be in town. We went to mass at 12:45 PM, and met everyone at the church before the 2:30 PM ceremony. Jaime's brother Orlando is Tiago's godfather, and my sister Anne is his godmother.


Everything went well, and it was interesting to have so many babies baptized at once. Assembly line efficiency. I was glad we were at St Michael, since Jaime and I got married there, and that's also where my parents were married.

We went back to our place, and Jaime's mom had cooked for everyone. Her food was as great as usual, and we enjoyed the afternoon with our families.
