Celebrating Dylan's birthday in school

18 March 2019

You know how they say that your children's teachers are their 2nd parents?  It's true in Dylan's case.

They prepared these decorations for him despite the hectic schedule that everyone was in because the school decided to advance their Recognition Day and there was hardly any time for detailed preparations.

So, Dylan, Happy Birthday and you're so lucky to have Teachers like T. Ressie, T. Joyce and T. Sitti who have taken care of you this year :)

Kids: Tracy's Baptism

May 6, 2012

Today was Tracy's baptism.  It was held at the Santisimo Rosario Parish in UST where both Dana and Dylan were baptized too.  Everyone woke up early to prepare for it and for once, we were early to an event LOL  We just hung out at the benches in front of the church while we waited for the rest of the party to arrive.  We were actually the first to sign up for the baptism (which was a mass baptism held every Sunday).

Here's what happened at the Church:

Registration

Opening Prayers

Blessing of the Priest

Anointing with holy oil

Rites of Godparents

 While the rest of the other baptism celebrants took their positions, I took the time to just take pictures of the attendees.

The Immediate Family

Ninong Gelo and Ninong Mike

After the ceremony, we all took our time taking pictures.  One of the benefits of being first in line is that you don't have to wait for anyone.  You have first dibs on everything.

After the baptism, we all trooped to our house for the "reception".  Patrick missed the first part of the ceremony because he had to go and pick up our order from Amber's in Timog.  We forgot to take pictures of the cassava cake.. oh! that was really good too~!  :D

Barbecue

Lumpiang Shanghai

Spaghetti

 More picture taking happening at the house with the guests.
