Noel's baptism

Yesterday was the private baptism of Noel Gomez, Kevin's nephew from his brother Gavin.

Gavin, his wife Esther and baby Noel live in Myanmar and came down for the baptism which was celebrated by Father Joe Nathan. Because Kevin's mom works at Our Lady of Lourdes church, the ceremony was held there, followed by dinner. Even though it was a private baptism, there was still a bit of crowd because most of Gavin's relatives had not met Noel.

Before the ceremony started, we took lots of pictures outside. Noel is only about 5 weeks older than Nuttty but so much bigger, his birth date was 31 Dec 2007. Nutty was still relatively sociable despite her blocked nose and cough. Yes, my darling daughter is sick, having come down with a cold, and yesterday morning we brought her to the paediatrician before heading to work. She's much better now though, the Vicks rubbed on her feet seems to have worked wonders!

Dinner was catered from Sakunthala's...mmm, masala chicken, pepper mutton and deep friend bindi. Swana ordered a cake from Cedele too, sugee-flavoured and it was one of the best sugee cakes I've had. Moist and nutty with melt in your mouth icing. Can't wait to eat that again!
