no time.... as usual

No time for a normal post, but I did want to share at least one photo from Sundays baptism.

This is my son, Carsten, and his wife, Karen, both all dressed up in traditional India attire, holding precious Priyasha. My daughter, Regina, and their cousin, Christine, were the two godmothers. Christine is holding a traditional Easter candle which was lit on the flame of the large Easter candle in the church.





Even though Karen and her family are from India, they are Catholics, like us, so it was a Catholic ceremony.



After the mass we went to a reception with lots of cake and Indian food. No, I did NOT bake this cake! lol



It was a fun day for all.

I'm having trouble "winding down" after that long weekend. It seems I've been on the go for the past two weeks... almost non-stop. Even today I drove after work to my daughter's new apartment (long story) to help put furniture together.

It's been raining the past couple of days and temperatures have dropped! It's like April was our summer and now, in May, it's fall already. Weird.....

  5. I like his outfit.
    IT is amazing how many Catholics there are in in India. The Portuguese had a big impact on that but the tradition goes back even further
