Our little Noah was baptized on July 5th 2008. Nick and I chose my sister, Hilaria, and his brother, Doug, to be Noah's Godparents. We were so happy to have Noah baptized by my cousin, Father Carlos Velazquez, at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in San Antonio. Noah did so well at the baptism! He slept through the majority of it. Many of my relatives were there to witness the joyous occasion. Unfortunately, Nick's family was not able to come. We sure did miss them! Noah was baptized on the same day as my cousin Antonio's 74th birthday fiesta. We had a wonderful time visiting with him and many of the other family members that made the trip for the celebration. On Friday, July 18th 2008, Antonio passed away after battling pancreatic cancer. We are so lucky to have had him in our lives. We will miss him dearly.

That was so great you could celebrate Antonio's birthday before he passed. Wish we could have been there to celebrate Noah's baptism.

I am sorry we were not there for that very special day in Noah's life. Hopefully, we will be there for many other special times. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
