On Sunday, Paloma was baptized into the Catholic Church. We're happy for this to be the door entering into her spiritual life. Here in Spain, one man is chosen to be the godfather, and one woman to be the godmother. Luckily, Moses, my brother, was able to attend this blessed event all the way from Minnesota. Fernando's cousin Isabel is the godmother, but couldn't come because she's super busy with her wedding this month. Fernando's parents, Juana and Rafa Sr. came from Sevilla, and Rafa Jr., Katya, and Pau came to cheer on our daughter.

Time for the blessed bath! The cold Holy Water streams down her bushy head. Yes, she cried. With joy!

Paloma got changed into her street clothes to celebrate her new beginning!

Salud! Cheers to our babe!

I love this prayer for little ones that have gotten baptized:
Lord let me walk with You
Although my steps are small
Stay beside, hold my hand
And never let me fall.
Amen.
Hooray for Paloma's First Sacrament!
Congrats Signorina P!
Gah! I was going to pick up something for Paloma in Hawaii but no dice. Will send something soon.
Boy is Moses' hair short!
Love the pics..what what no baby bling on the baptismal gown...?! J/K.

Melissa, I LOVE that prayer. Thank you!
Rhona-Mae, Hawaii? Did you see the other Arcas?
C.Le, she was like, what, no matching tiara? DIVAAAA!! Look forward to her holding her head up. Neck exercises! Is making her do 3 sets of 10 reps too much?
Nope. Jessie's mom is on another island. Man it was hot there. I miss the waves. It's so dry here.
