Planes, Trains, and Automobile

The grandparents took the train, the godparents flew in, and we drove east on the 401, converging in Quebec for the big event.

Last weekend was a pretty exciting one for our family. We went off to Montreal for Dexter's baptism. It was a small little party: Lolo and Lola from Calgary, Grandma and Grandpa from Tatamagouche, Ninang Gina from Calgary, and Ninong Richard from Toronto. In Montreal, there was Tito Rene and Tita Joyce who were the bestest hosts ever!

The ceremony was on Sunday during the 10 am mass. Dex was so amazing, he actually smiled when he had water poured on his head. Mind you, not everyone gets baptised by their aunt (thank you Revd. Canon Joyce Sanchez!) and not every priest ensures that warm water is used for the occasion.

Dex looked so handsome in his little knitted outfit and his cute little baby blue shoes. Here's a short little video taken right after the baptism with Tita Joyce showing him off to her congregation. Notice that he only has one shoe. During the mass, one fell off and therefore ended up in his Dad's pocket for the reminder of the event.
