Joshua's baptism was in the evening... together with the Sun evening mass. There were about 20 babies to be baptised that evening, and of all babies... Joshua was the first in line.. as you can see the tag on the pew.. (1). Being the first to baptist... it was quite blurry for all of us, including Maggot, who unfortunately couldn't snap a pix or two in time when Josh was being poured with holy water over his head. We chose that instead of whole body submerge into the pool, fearing that Josh might get frightened or cold. Yes, we're lucky people, our church is fully air-conditioned!! heheheh. Although it would have been really cool to see Josh fully naked and dipped into the nice cold pool of holy water!!
So here are some pixies we manage to gather for Josh's big day!!
